Hello, I am

Nathan Evans

Network Operations Analyst

Welcome to my website! Just trying my hand at coding using AI with Antigravity and practicing hosting in AWS via AWS Amplify.

Where are they now?

"Time is measured by years, wisdom is measured by mistakes, and love is measured by you."

I am currently working as an Analyst in Network Operations for Intercontinental Exchange. I've taken many detours in life and have become a better man for it. You can catch me at a football game or reading a book on the beach. At home I can be found tinkering with a Breadboard and Arduino or working on various pet projects such as this webpage. Below are some snapshots of my personal journey up to this point. Enjoy!

Personal Stories

My Firstborn

Bobby "Bowden"

Two years ago I finally had my first son... with four paws and a tail. Raising Bowden from a pup taught me lessons in responsibility I never knew I needed. The potty training and sleepless nights were trials that have molded me into a more responsible adult. Our favorite activities include hiking and playing fetch. Bowden is family and has always found ways to brighten my days. Here's to many more games of tug-of-war son. You may beat me... one day.

Bookie

"Mist"ified

My path in writing started with the passing of my father but certainly did not end there. Currently I am working on a short novel named "Mist" which can be read via Wattpad here. Only chapter one is currently available and I've put this project on hold while I pursue other interests but I hope to be working on it again soon!

The Man Who Made Me

Expectations

October 12th 2018 is a day that will forever live in my memory. That day my father suddenly passed away. Jeffrey Wayne Evans wore many hats in his life from his days as a Volunteer Firefighter becoming the Lieutenant of Station 8 to creating and running his own Small Business (Jeffery's Attic) while still working a full time job. His work ethic was unquestionable and my father left huge shoes to fill. This started my path in writing as an outlet to understand and come to terms with our loss. My poem Expectations was written for my father and can be read here via Wattpad.

The Road Less Traveled

Wandering With Wonder

Traveling has been one of my most rewarding hobbies to date. Giving me a diverse perspective that can only be achieved with the attitude of "Been There, Done That." My favorite expedition so far has been hiking Providence Canyon in Lumpkin GA (pictured above) however in the future I plan to schedule an excursion on the West Coast. Traveling is a journey I've only just scratched the surface of.

Soul Power

Music On My Mind

Music has been a part of my life since playing the Tuba in middleschool and has taken me places ever since. In highschool I transitioned to Drumline and used one of my summers to participate in the DCI World Championships playing at Lucas Oil Stadium of the Indianapolis Colts. Playing Tuba in college helped me pay for my Associates degree and I even played for a University drumline for a short period. Music helped me wander. And wandering helped me experience life in ways I will forever appreciate.

The Beginning

Love At First Byte?

During my childhood my parents gifted me a Breadboard Lab Kit and I've been fascinated by electronics ever since. From tasks as small as fixing the WiFi in my childhood home to creating a game server via Hamachi in my highschool years, my hobby stuck and has progressed into a career I've enjoyed ever since.
