About

Intro:

Hi! My name is Nate Craver, and I am a Software Developer from North East Ohio with 8 years of experience. I specialize in backend development, however I do have some experience with frontend development. I also am currently looking for summer internship, or employment for a software development position.

Background

I started programming back in 2017 when I was 14 years old, beginning with basic c# console apps. After that, I migrated to the Unity Game engine, where I worked on various (unfinished) games.

Some Genres that I attempted were:

A city builder with procedurally generated terrain
A tower defense game with a procedural tile map, and upgradeable towers
A 2d circuit building game, that you could make miniature computers with
A multiplayer third person shooter, where you drove around custom tanks

Education

I was homeschool till 6th grade, when I started Dukes Digital Academy at Marlington High School. I graduated Cum Laude in 2022, and enrolled at Kent State University at the Stark Campus that Autumn.

Religion

I am a member of the Paris Ave Christadelphian Ecclesia. The Christadelphians are a worldwide group of men and women dedicated to learning about and obeying the commandments of God. We have a hope that the son of God, Jesus Christ will return and establish a kingdom, and those who are responsible and righteous will reign with him.
