✦ NATHANIEL “NAT” CURRIER / TOMATORTC / NAT.IO
I build and lead complex AI, cloud, WebRTC, and real-time systems, connecting architecture, engineering execution, product strategy, and customer trust.
This is also where I explore food, health, music, relationships, creative practice, and the small systems that shape a meaningful life.
Building now
A programmable participant fabric for humans, agents, devices, browsers, and services operating in one coordinated real-time system.
Explore TomatoRTC ↗Practicing
Small health systems designed for metabolic stability and ordinary busy days.
The meal system ↗Learning
Consistency in music, writing, and technical work without flattening curiosity.
The practice ↗Question of the day · Today
The user has an incomplete question, and the knowledge base has an incomplete account of reality. Intelligent systems do not eliminate that uncertainty. They turn competing evidence into actionable confidence.
Read ↗
The risk of AI-generated code is not simply that it can be wrong. It is that teams lose the learning conversation that turns questionable choices into better engineering judgment.

Branches record intent, but worktrees and scoped commit hooks make parallel local agent work isolated, reviewable, and safer to integrate.

Anxiety can borrow the voice of responsibility and systems thinking. The goal is not to optimize it into a superpower, but to convert its signal into a bounded action or a request for support.
Read ↗Current professional practice
I founded TomatoRTC to build real-time participant infrastructure for products where people, AI agents, devices, and services share live context. I also work across CTO, VP Engineering, Chief Architect, advisory, and founder-in-residence mandates where technical complexity has become a product, delivery, or customer-trust problem.
Deterministic diagnostic
Ten fixed questions reveal delivery risk across reliability, architecture, execution, and governance.
Decision artifact
Turn fixed scoring into a one-page readiness view, top risks, and a practical 90-day plan.
Executive brief
A concise record of operating range across AI, cloud, WebRTC, engineering leadership, and product delivery.
Stay awhile if
Probably skip it if
Technology matters when it expands human agency. This is a working notebook for technology, life systems, creative practice, and big-picture views.
Read the manifesto ↗Pick one, run it this week, and document what changed. The goal is action, not perfection.
Verify that one API boundary behaves like an explicit contract under success and failure.
Reclaim deep-work time by removing friction from one recurring task sequence.
Protect momentum on a low-capacity day by shipping a reduced but intentional creative session.
Improve one project update so stakeholders can evaluate your capability without guesswork.
From the kitchen
A soft, chewy, banana-free take on classic oatmeal walnut raisin cookies—sweetened with apples and monk fruit, and made with a fiber-rich grain swap that keeps blood sugar steady.
