Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathaniel Elkins is a software engineer and founder with 11 years of experience building production-grade systems and leading engineering teams, now running Nelknet, a consultancy focused on high-impact full‑stack, data engineering, and cloud solutions. He has repeatedly taken early-stage products from single‑developer prototypes to multi‑person teams, most recently rehiring and restructuring Knoetic’s North American engineering org while contributing hands‑on to data pipelines and frontend work. His technical breadth spans Python, dbt, Snowflake, Typescript/React, Go, Kubernetes and AWS—paired with deep domain experience integrating HRIS and ATS systems like Workday, Greenhouse and ADP. Nathaniel has a track record of solving messy data problems in production (reimplementing extractors, stabilizing pipelines, and setting up observability) and shipping custom inventory and warehouse management platforms across distributed teams. He blends product sensibility with operational rigor, having led teams across time zones and managed both people and platform rebuilds. Based in New York with a B.S. in Brain and Cognitive Sciences, he brings an analytical mindset to engineering and business strategy.
