Nathaniel Houk

I am an HFT engineer at Flow Traders, where I work on devops for high frequency trading. I have professional experience developing in Python, C#, and Java.

In 2015 I founded Epsilon Records a boutique record label featuring Techno, Acid and Deep House. We livestream on Twitch and publish a podcast called Live in the Living Room. We are actively signing new artists!

I did my bachelors at the University of Southern California where I graduated in 2008 summa cum laude with a 4.0 major GPA in Computer Engineering and Computer Science. I worked as a teaching assistant for EE106 taught by Professor Mark Redekopp.

In Fall 2005 I won the USC Programming Contest writing my solutions in C++. My EE459 senior design project involved writing embedded C and reverse engineering the Apple 30-pin connector to build an alarm clock called iSnooze.

In 2006 I founded the USC Chapter of Engineers Without Borders and served as the President through 2008. The EWB-USC club is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to improving lives through sustainable water and related engineering projects.

I grew up on Bainbridge Island, WA and graduated from Bainbridge High School in 2004.

Reverse engineering the Apple 30-pin connector. Wake easier—one song at a time.

Things I've programmed.

The USC Programming Contest is an event organized once per semester for undergraduate and beginning graduate students. It is a programming contest for individual participants.

Navigate the snake around the screen and try to eat the apples to gain points. Once you have eaten all of the apples on the level, you will advance to the next level. Try to get the highest points possible to make the scoreboard. You die by running into a wall, or running into yourself. (Windows only)

Mastermind challenges you by randomly picking four pegs, each with six different color possibilities. Your goal is to guess the order and color of those four pegs, in only ten tries, while receiving clues from the computer in the form of black and white pegs. Based off the original board game.
