Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Swain is a project engineer and web-focused software leader with 13 years of experience building web applications and visualization tools for water resources and environmental modeling. He holds a PhD in Water Resources and Hydroinformatics and led development of the Tethys Platform, a niche web hosting and app framework for earth science models. At Aquaveo he leads small engineering teams delivering products like CityWater, AGWA, and MODFLOW Server, and has run workshops for NASA SERVIR and the National Water Center. Technically fluent in Python, JavaScript, C/C++, and GIS stacks, he blends hands-on development with domain expertise in hydrologic modeling and operational visualization pipelines. Less obvious: he has repeatedly translated research-grade models into production web services used by federal agencies, demonstrating both academic rigor and production discipline.
