“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Craig for over 25 years. On a personal level, Craig has been a trustworthy and reliable friend. We meet regularly to hold each other accountable to our goals and Craig is always able to provide constructive, thoughtful, and encouraging feedback. On a professional level, I witnessed Craig's motivation and persistence first-hand as he taught himself the Objective-C programming language and built an iOS prototype app that was perfect for our evaluation requirements during just one year of working together. He consistently demonstrated his eagerness to grow and above all, inspired the team to work cohesively while bringing creative ideas to the table. It is without hesitation, that I would highly recommend Craig Nathan for any position requiring software development skills.”

Recommendation System using Collaborative Filtering
-
Collaborated in a team of 3 students to develop a personalized game recommendation system for the Steam platform, focusing on user-game interactions and leveraging machine learning techniques.
- Spearheaded development of Collaborative Filtering model for a Steam game recommender system, analyzing user behavior and item characteristics for accurate predictions.
- Effectively managed the large, sparse dataset, increasing user-item matrix density by 8022% while maintaining original…Collaborated in a team of 3 students to develop a personalized game recommendation system for the Steam platform, focusing on user-game interactions and leveraging machine learning techniques.
- Spearheaded development of Collaborative Filtering model for a Steam game recommender system, analyzing user behavior and item characteristics for accurate predictions.
- Effectively managed the large, sparse dataset, increasing user-item matrix density by 8022% while maintaining original data’s distribution through use of filtering and sampling techniques.
- Cut initial model error by 59% by adding user/item-based methods, feature transformations, content-boosting, preprocessing/splitting/baseline techniques and cross-validation.Other creators -

Ocean Wave Energy Converter - Senior Design Project
-
Designed a device to convert ocean wave energy into electricity, while protecting shore-side structures. Responsible for hardware and software design, for monitoring, and reporting systems. Created a more efficient and innovative mechanical design for the project. Added key solution and follow-through for difficulties in manipulating an inaccessible component. Developed a magnetic system that motivated the funding client to secure a patent attorney, to whom an application was submitted…
