Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNelson Foltz is a software engineer with nine years of professional experience building front-end and full-stack web applications, currently driving product work at Wave Sciences after roles at Base Two and PPG. He combines rigorous technical skills—gained through a full-stack bootcamp, a Udacity Nanodegree, and hands-on UI/UX roles—with a musician’s attention to craft and aesthetics, prioritizing elegant, user-centered code. Based in Pittsburgh, he brings proven expertise in React, JavaScript, and modern front-end practices alongside experience in Agile teams and TDD. Unusually for an engineer, Nelson maintains a parallel career as a professional musician with credits alongside Barry White, Steely Dan, Aretha Franklin and regular NPR features, which informs his collaborative, performance-minded approach to engineering. He’s drawn to roles where innovation and beauty intersect, and outside work he’s busy wrangling two affectionate rescue dogs, Molly and Dolly.
