About me

Hello! My name is Nate and I love solving new problems every day. I started my career in avian phylogenetics where I researched speciation of bird lice across songbirds. I took my passion for science into the classroom where I taught physics for six years. I wanted a better work-life balance while still being able to solve complex problems, so I went back to school at Turing to study software development. I hope to do new things everyday and work with people to make the world a better place!

There are plenty of great websites with amazing recipes that will turn any evening into a memory that will last a lifetime. That downside is that those recipes are saved in multiple locations, not in a single place. With Mon Recette, you can import and save recipes from:
