Nate A.

Software engineer at Ohio State, graduating May 2027.

The work here centers on shipped XR software, real-time interactive systems, browser-based technical tools, and AI-backed prototypes that connect models to actual interfaces.

Chromarun / XPPAutHome / Comet / ARChat / Bloomwave Garden

Targy LLC Chromarun reached 1,150+ installs and 575+ lifetime active users on Meta Quest.
Scientific web tooling XPPAutHome ports XPPAUT, Bard Ermentrout's dynamical-systems and bifurcation-analysis tool, to the browser with a WASM-first runtime.
Robotics + AI Comet maps natural-language input into a defined robot command set for a Unitree Go2.
XR + data ARChat links QR-loaded context, natural-language questions, and AR overlays on Quest 3.

Selected Work

Status: Done

Founded Targy LLC and built the shipped Meta Quest VR game myself.

Key systems include 40 handcrafted levels, hand tracking, saves, leaderboards, custom levels, and a raycast-driven procedural mode for an effectively unlimited, non-repeating obstacle course.

Status: Done

Web-first port of XPPAUT, Bard Ermentrout's tool for simulating and analyzing dynamical systems.

Supports model upload, simulation, phase-plane analysis, bifurcation views, and export to SVG, PNG, and CSV through typed worker APIs and a WASM-first runtime.

Repo · Live demo

Status: Done

LLM-driven robot dog prototype built around a Unitree Go2.

Routes speech and visual context through a Unity client, controller, and Python server to execute predefined robot actions.

The core engineering work was the command parser and mapping layer for roughly 30 supported natural-language commands.

Repo · Demo video

Status: Done

Primary developer on an AR data-exploration system for Meta Quest 3.

Loads QR-linked context, accepts natural-language questions, and returns spoken answers plus AR overlays tied to the scene.

The system combines a Quest frontend, Python backend, DuckDB, Gemini, Wit.ai, and an early scrcpy-based workaround for environment imagery.

Case study · In-app showcase · NCUR presentation

Status: In development

Current farming-game build across browser and native iOS paths.

Includes burst-based gameplay, progression, HUD systems, audio handling, leaderboards, release assets, and now a public browser build.

Repo · Web build

Status: On hold

Open-source social platform workspace focused on privacy, moderation, and account integrity.

Includes anonymous passkey auth, media posting, moderation-first architecture, and feed UX.

One Good Review (Chromarun)

Chromarun five-star review from QUACKBIRTH on September 2, 2024

"The best game on Meta (no exaggeration)"

Outside GitHub

  • Nationwide, Software Engineering Intern: work across AWS, EC2, Alation, New Relic, and CI/CD; built production/test monitoring and a Bash workflow that replaced manual external-drive backups with GitHub-backed automation.
  • Stealth startup, Software Developer: sole iOS developer for a Ray-Ban Meta smart-glasses prototype using Apple Vision for on-device object detection and ruleset-driven capture readiness.
  • Teaching Assistant, College Algebra: taught recitations and supported roughly 60 students per semester, averaging a 4.9 out of 5 student rating across two sections (5.0 and 4.79).

Also Worth Opening

  • ProgrammingChallenge: PyTorch speech emotion recognition work that adds applied ML depth.
  • houston-finance: local-first personal-finance desktop app with encrypted storage, Plaid read-only boundaries, release automation, and a cash-flow UI built for real account aggregation; kept private intentionally.
