Nate Gardner is a CTO and engineer with 11 years of experience building immersive platforms and industrial analytics systems, currently leading Hyperspace XR to create new storytelling mediums and “portals” to alternate realities. He pairs startup product leadership with deep aerospace engineering chops developed across multiple roles at Boeing, where he built production automation, industrial IoT, predictive maintenance analytics, and managed a 120 TFLOPS compute cluster. Hands-on across the stack, Nate has delivered full‑stack web apps, machine learning (TensorFlow), computer vision for manufacturing, and API integrations that connect disparate enterprise systems. His background in agricultural robotics, robotics club leadership, and curriculum development shows a practical knack for turning research and hardware into deployable systems and teaching others to do the same. Based in Edmonds, Washington, he blends creative storytelling ambitions with rigorous analytics and systems engineering, often applying nontraditional math and tools (graph DBs, Bayesian estimation, FFTs) to real-world problems. Colleagues describe him as an engineer who moves fluidly between code, hardware, and product vision to democratize cutting‑edge experiences.
