About

Nathaniel Felleke

Hi, I’m Nathaniel Felleke — an engineer and builder passionate about creating systems that blend precision, design, and creativity.

I’m currently a senior at MIT studying Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, where I work on embedded systems, FPGAs, and machine learning at the edge. I absolutely love building novel things that exist in the physical world, from medical devices to volumetric displays.
