Nathan Wardy
I am a Computer Engineering student with a track record of leading high-impact technology initiatives across both industry and research. I have completed four internships with Centene Corporation, where I developed enterprise solutions and successfully sold a product to the organization as an intern. In addition to my work at Centene, I currently lead the development of CAELUS, a low-cost autonomous drone system in collaboration with the Center for Industry Solutions.
This summer, I will be joining Bank of America in New York City as a Software Engineering Intern. My path into engineering began atypically—I graduated high school at 16 and became a Parts Manager at 17, where I managed over $500K in monthly inventory. During that time, I taught myself Python to build automated tools to detect fraud, saving the company more than $70K. I also founded an initiative to support local schools by helping transform traditional libraries into makerspaces, expanding access to hands-on STEM education.
