Hi, my name is

Nathaniel Sauer

I secure systems & build resilient software.

B.S. Computer Science from Arizona State University with a cybersecurity emphasis. I write low-level C and Python tooling, build full-stack real-time applications, and reason about systems from packets and shellcode up through kernel modules and distributed services.

01. About Me

I'm a Computer Science graduate from Arizona State University's Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering with a cybersecurity emphasis. My journey in tech started with a fascination for how systems work — and more importantly, how they can be broken and defended.

Through rigorous coursework in information assurance, network security, digital forensics, operating systems, compilers, and distributed systems, I've built a strong foundation in both offensive and defensive security practices alongside full-stack software engineering. I shipped a real-time multiplayer SAT learning platform with MyEdMaster as part of my senior capstone, wrote Linux kernel modules and a recursive-descent compiler in coursework, and built blockchain-based forensic tooling from scratch in Python.

Here are some technologies and tools I work with:

  • Python / C / C++
  • JavaScript / React
  • Django / REST APIs
  • WebSockets / Real-time
  • C# / .NET / ASP.NET
  • x86-64 Assembly / Verilog
  • Linux Kernel / Bash
  • Wireshark / Scapy / Nmap
  • Autopsy / Volatility / FTK
  • Cryptography (AES / RSA)
