Product ownership, written in public.

I write and teach about the part of product work where the ticket is clear and the outcome still isn't: clarity, judgment, and what to do next.

I write across Now (tactical), Next (strategy), and Later (culture).

What people say

What others say after working with me.

“I worked alongside Nate as a fellow PO, and I can say from experience that he is a true 'unicorn' in the product space. I saw firsthand how he seamlessly blends deep technical knowledge with a genuine empathy that bridges the gap between stakeholders and the working team. What I've always appreciated about Nate is his adaptability, no matter how fast things move or how complex the requirements get, he stays calm and keeps the momentum going. Nate has a natural gift for translating high-level strategy into technical execution, ensuring that both developers and stakeholders feel heard and aligned. He doesn't just manage a backlog; he leads with a transparency and clarity that makes the whole team better. If the opportunity arises, I would work with him again any time and in any capacity.”

“Nate is an efficient, skilled, and resourceful senior engineer with a passion for all things web (open metaverse, Web3, NFTs, etc) and solving complex problems. He's a great explainer, mentor, and creator. I've learned and grown so much as a developer working with him.”

“Among the best tech polyglots - and human beings - you're likely to encounter. I've had the privilege to work with Nate at two separate companies. On each occasion, he was a joy to work with in every regard. He's fun, smart, and his dedication to his craft consistently produced exceptional results. In fact, I've never seen anyone pick up new technology and run with it in a meaningful way faster than Nate. He's a modern day renaissance man. And an invaluable team member within any organization.”
