Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Clark is a co-founder and principal software engineer with 16 years of hands-on experience building web and field-data systems, leading Brand New Box since 2006 to serve clients in energy, environment, asset management, and social impact. He combines product-minded engineering with a human-centered design background (BFA in Industrial Design, HCI), which shows up in tools that respect field professionals’ workflows rather than forcing them to adapt. At StandardVision.ai he’s applying computer vision and agentic workflows to eliminate manual data entry—amplifying expert judgment instead of replacing it. He’s equally entrepreneurial and playful, turning developer commit histories into vinyl artifacts through MD5 Records, a project that reflects his appreciation for craft and tangible recognition. A hands-on leader and coach, he fosters curious, collaborative teams and even runs a youth robotics club to mentor the next generation of builders. Based in Lawrence, Kansas, Nathan blends long-term consultancy experience with practical AI productization to deliver measurable impact for mission-driven organizations.
