Nate Denlinger

VP of Software Engineering

I build high-performance applications and lead engineering teams to deliver exceptional digital products.

About

With nearly two decades of software development experience, I've evolved from building websites for small businesses to architecting high-scale applications serving millions of requests daily. Currently, I serve as Vice President of Software Engineering at RoveIQ, where I lead development of mission-critical systems powering hundreds of smart kiosks nationwide.

My journey has taken me through the full spectrum of web development: from crafting PHP applications and building SaaS platforms, to developing mobile apps and implementing complex real-time systems. I'm passionate about clean architecture, test-driven development, and mentoring the next generation of developers.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open-source projects, or diving into the latest developments in Go, Svelte, and cloud infrastructure.
