Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNate Folkert is a seasoned software engineer with 15 years of experience building scalable analytics, search, and recommendation systems, currently contributing to Foursquare’s application server and search stack using Scala, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch. His background includes deep systems and language work at Oracle—coauthoring a SIGMOD/PODS best paper and helping implement the SQL Model clause—and end-to-end analytic engine design at M-Factor. Comfortable across languages from C and Java to Scala and Python, he blends algorithmic rigor (data structures, graph and recursive problems) with practical production engineering. Based in New York, he pairs academic training (BS/MS Stanford CS) with hands-on product delivery and an unusual personal focus on physical craft: he studied Swedish massage, reflecting a curiosity for body-centered disciplines alongside software.
