Hi, I'm Nathan Marley
I'm a systems architect and engineer with 15+ years of experience building, breaking apart, and rebuilding production systems. I spent six years at Dash Core Group building blockchain infrastructure and protocol systems, and I work across the stack from application architecture and data modeling to distributed systems and platform engineering.
Portfolio
A few things I’ve built:
- Speakeasy A macOS push-to-talk transcription tool that inserts your speech directly into any text field. Built with Swift and Whisper API – kinda fast and mostly seamless for prompt-driven workflows.
Some Things I’ve Written
A few selected posts:
- Macro Thesis: Sovereignty, Privacy, and the Future of Money
- Rust-Powered Full-Text Search w/Tantivy
- Goroutines + Channels: High-Throughput S3 Object Hashing
- 3GB/s S3 Hashing with Rust + Tokio
These focus on high-performance systems, concurrency, I/O, search, and the case for private, sovereign money.
Outside of Code
I live with my family in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I tinker with Raspberry Pi and electronics, plant trees, and build little tools for fun. I like old-school 2d pixel-art games, cryptocurrency, Linux, and strategy and have interest in robotics and learning languages. Love traveling and healthy living as well!
I’ve trained as a raw vegan chef, lived in Brazil for five years w/my family, and speak Portuguese and Luxembourgish. If any of these topics are interesting to you, please get in touch!
