Senior🎓
Top SchoolNate Delage is a senior engineering leader with 15 years of hands-on experience building and shipping customer-focused web products, currently serving as Senior Director of Engineering at AppFolio. He blends deep Ruby and JavaScript expertise (Rails since its early days) with a consistent track record of improving team delivery, reliability, and product-market fit across roles from tech lead to director. Calm and patient, he excels at mentoring engineers, resolving cross-functional tradeoffs—from UX and SEO to CDN ops and class-level design—and leaves teams measurably stronger. Nate’s career spans startups, teaching roles, and scaled product organizations, and he routinely draws on lessons from both successes and mistakes to guide pragmatic technical decisions. Based in San Diego, he’s as comfortable digging into low-level operational issues as he is shaping strategy to drive real-dollar customer value.
