“I really enjoy the instant feedback we get on new features and fixes, the communications makes it much easier to make a product that users want to use.” |

A self-confessed übergeek, Nate recently moved from the UI team to the Core Development team, and is Tamale's go-to man for most aspects of our Microsoft plug-ins. He's also into just about every geeky hobby there is! |

Q: |

What is your favorite part of your job at Tamale? |

I really love seeing something I created with my own head and hands getting used and appreciated by other people, whether they be our clients or my fellow developers.

Q: |
|
What do you love to do outside of work? |
|
|
A: |
|
Picking one hobby is really difficult, but pretty much if you can think of a geeky hobby, I do it — from role-playing games, to video games, to building computers. My one major non-traditional geeky hobby is cycling. I try to bike into work as often as I can during the warmer months.

Q: |
|
What makes you proud to work at Tamale? |
|
|
A: |
|
Choosing just one thing is hard, but I did have a lot of fun extending our plugin architecture to include Office 2007, which totally reworked how plugins were managed in Office. I also think we have a really fantastic group of people at Tamale — not just the programmers, but also Client Services people, the QA team, the business team ... everyone.

Q: |
|
What are some of your favorite outings in Boston? |
|
|
A: |
|
My favorite place to eat is Taiwan Café in Chinatown, which has really great authentic Taiwanese cuisine. I also favor Diesel Café in Davis Square for its fantastic atmosphere, great coffee, and inexpensive pool tables.
