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 work across the full stack, from database schema design and application architecture to Kubernetes clusters and CI/CD pipelines.

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:

These focus on building high-performance systems – concurrency, I/O, and search.

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!
