# About Nat Thompson

> The person behind the terminal.

I'm Nat Thompson — a technologist, author, and fractional CTO who helps teams navigate the cloud and build things that matter.

With years of experience across AWS, software architecture, and engineering leadership, I've helped startups and established companies alike ship faster, reduce costs, and make smarter technology decisions.

## What I Do

- **Fractional CTO** — Senior technical leadership for teams that need it, without the full-time overhead.
- **AWS Consulting** — Architecture reviews, cost optimization, migration strategy.
- **Writing & Teaching** — Making cloud technology accessible through my blog and my book, [AWS Essentials](https://natthompson.com/aws-essentials).
