Nathan Nolte

Early in life I was drawn to the Arts and Sciences, excelling in physical and life sciences along with a personal interest in computers and programming since youth. In 2010 I earned a BS in Computer Science from Bowling Green State University in Ohio with an interest in video game design and development. After graduating, I moved to Oregon to earn a second BS in Botany and Plant Pathology from Oregon State University in 2012. While at OSU I was web admin for Joey Spatafora's Cordyceps monograph website and was a research lab assistant in Todd Mockler's lab doing wet lab work with B. distachyon.

After graduation I worked for almost a decade at the global localization company Translations.com. I processed a multitude of software and website localizations for companies such as HP, Microsoft, and Honeywell as well as for Oregon State University. I eventually became the manager of the Localization Engineering department and helped the regional Oregon offices take the step into AI machine learning translations. My love for learning never faded, and after 10 years I have returned to OSU to manage the BPP department website and revitalize the semiannual newsletter in addition to beginning as a part time student again.
