Nathan Hewitt

Developer, roboticist, ML researcher. he/him.

I’m a software developer with broad interests in robotics, machine learning, and computer science. Passionate about solving messy, meaningful problems. Currently open to work: if you have an opening that sounds like this, please reach out!

I received my M.S. in Robotics at Oregon State University under the advising of Dr. Kagan Tumer. I received my B.Sc. in Computer Engineering from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, summa cum laude.

Over five years of collaborative research, I have acquired a wide skillset (check out my Projects to learn more):

  • Python: PyTorch, Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Jupyter, Anaconda
  • Machine learning: deep, evolutionary, reinforcement
  • Mathematics: Bayesian statistics, graph theory, linear algebra
  • Linux: networking, services, SSH, basic admin, Docker
  • Hardware: UR5, Arduino, depth cameras, embedded C
  • Robotics: C++, ROS 1 and 2, SLAM, control
  • Good development practices: Git, testing, OOP

I enjoy backpacking, rock climbing, and reading weird books. While I have your attention, have you contributed to Wikipedia this year?
