Engineering Manager, Git Infrastructure, GitHub

@nathanstocks

Nathan Stocks is an engineering manager of Git Infrastructure at GitHub by day and a hopelessly naive indie game developer by night. He likes growing maple trees from seed, playing Frisbee, spending time with his wife and kids, eating food, and pretending to be an expert on things he knows little about. He would love to manage to actually make a game in Rust that’s worth playing.
