Summary
Nathan Barnett is a pragmatic CTO with nine years of industry experience who blends a deep scientific background (M.S. in Nuclear Engineering) with hands-on software engineering across C# and C++ ecosystems. He leads a small agile team building a suite of desktop, web, and service-oriented products for pathology lab workflow, driving architecture, security, deployment, and user-focused features that connect lab instruments to enterprise systems. His career spans peta-scale simulation and scientific visualization to practical lab automation—introducing innovations like industry-unique barcoding, automated slide renaming, and a graphical installer that cut deployment time from 12 hours to 20 minutes. Comfortable moving between low-level performance tuning (OpenMP/MPI, 4x single-thread improvements) and high-level product design, he thrives on turning complex scientific and operational requirements into reliable, auditable software. Based in McMinnville, Oregon, he combines research-grade rigor with a maker’s instinct for tooling and productivity improvements that benefit both customers and developers.
