Summary
Nate Hodge is a lead software engineer with nearly two decades of industry experience and 13 years of hands-on engineering and leadership across enterprise and consumer platforms.

Nate blends deep full‑stack expertise (C++, C#, .NET, Angular, AWS, Docker) with product ownership, mentoring, and cross-functional collaboration with executives and customers. His track record includes slashing deployment and environment setup times by automating migration and test systems, and building paved roads to accelerate team delivery. Based in Lakewood, Ohio, he pairs strong systems thinking with a practical focus on developer productivity and operability. An early-career teaching assistant and even a stadium mascot, he brings both technical rigor and unexpected interpersonal energy to teams.
