Nathaniel Kilonzo

Software Engineer

I'm a Computer Science student at Northeastern University focused on systems. I build backend and distributed projects that prioritize correctness, performance, and reliability, with an emphasis on how software behaves under load and failure. My goal is to contribute to infrastructure and software that operates at scale.

In my free time, I enjoy watching films, cooking, and refining a hi-fi audio setup. Feel free to connect.
