Summary
Nelson Davis is a web developer based in Seattle with a deep engineering pedigree and 12 years of professional experience blending modern web technologies (Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, HTML/CSS) with a long career in electrical and hardware design. A Stanford-trained electrical engineer with an MBA from the University of Washington, he transitioned from designing complex embedded systems and LAN PCBs to building web apps and client sites, bringing rigorous systems thinking to front-end and back-end development. He has hands-on practice completing Rails tutorials, solving Ruby and JavaScript exercises, and delivering a live client site for an interior design show, alongside running his own experimental Heroku-hosted projects. In parallel he manages rental properties and works in hospitality, demonstrating operational resilience and strong client-facing skills. That mix of legacy hardware expertise, formal business training, and current full-stack study makes him unusually versatile for mid-career tech roles.
