Nolan Peterson

My journey into computer systems engineering began with robotics in elementary school, building my way up to the high school league FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) where I served as the programming lead. Working with teams to build and program robots in eight-week challenges taught me the importance of reliable, real-time systems and efficient software design. This experience sparked my passion for systems-level programming and led me to explore languages like Rust for their performance and safety guarantees.

I'm passionate about building robust, performant systems that bridge the gap between software and hardware. From programming robot control systems, developing embedded applications, or simulating a dice game, I love solving complex problems where reliability and efficiency are required. My goal is to contribute to the next generation of intelligent systems and autonomous technologies.
