about

I’m Nathan Lin.

I’m a Georgia Tech graduate student in the MS-HCI program, Interactive Computing track, where I focus on UX research and design.

I previously earned my BS in Computational Media at Georgia Tech, concentrating on Full-Stack Development, Interaction Design, and AI.

Outside of academics, I love staying active through tennis and volleyball!

how I work

  1. My primary focus is on UX research and human-centered design. I approach projects by first understanding users through methods such as usability testing, interviews, and sketching/prototyping.

  2. From there, I iterate toward solutions that are intuitive and accessible. My goal is to bridge research insights with implementation to create technology that truly serves people.

  3. I come from a strong technical background in full-stack development, with experience in JavaScript, React, Vue, Node.js, Flask, and databases like MongoDB and InfluxDB. This foundation lets me rapidly prototype ideas and translate concepts into working systems.
