I’m Nathan Patterson, based in Dardanelle, Arkansas. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology with a concentration in Data Analytics from Southern New Hampshire University, graduating Magna Cum Laude in May 2026.
I own SignalPoint Services LLC, where I work across repair, computer systems, IT, and digital visibility. I also support Bradenton PC Repair with SEO auditing, social media management, video editing, and technical support.
Outside client work, I build software and infrastructure that help me learn by doing. Clara explores local-first AI for structured workflows. Monsters Welcome connects explainable software logic with my own training practice. My homelab gives those ideas a place to run.
