Nathan Braun is a founder and seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building developer tools and scalable systems, currently shipping SSFeatures, a browser extension used by thousands and trusted at companies like Verizon, Oracle, ESPN, and Kaiser Permanente. Previously a Senior Software Engineer and tech lead at Google, he led cross-functional teams to deliver internal tooling and an OLAP engine developer experience adopted by thousands, and drove initiatives that removed millions of lines of duplicate code across Google's codebase. A UC Berkeley EECS graduate with hands-on expertise spanning compilers, pipelines, frontend IDEs, and testing infrastructure, he combines deep systems design with a product-first mindset. He left full-time corporate engineering to independently build and run a bootstrapped product end-to-end, documenting that journey publicly. That combination of large-scale engineering leadership and solo-founder grit makes him comfortable both mentoring teams and owning every detail of a shipped product.
