Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNathan Weller is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years building web platforms across agencies, startups, government, and enterprise teams, now at Webflow after a multi-year tenure at Automattic. He specializes in full‑stack JavaScript and PHP ecosystems, shipping security-focused features at scale—most notably Jetpack security tools and a WAF/scan stack deployed across millions of WordPress sites. Nate has led solo projects under tight deadlines, monetized and scaled plugins to 100k+ installs, and helped integrate the widely used WPScan vulnerability database into enterprise workflows. Equally comfortable shaping monorepo architecture, TypeScript configurations, and reusable UI components as he is designing client-facing sites and PWAs, he blends product-focused engineering with pragmatic process improvements. Based in Edmonton, he’s passionate about making the web safer and more usable, and often surfaces small UX and automation wins that reduce operational friction for teams.
