Hey! You've found Nat Ervin!
Freelance Coder and Sound Designer.
2014 - Coding Background
Once upon a time I started my journey into the coding world! I started a Bachelor of Computer
Science at Adelaide Uni back in 2014 until halfway through 2015. In 2015 I found the Bachelor of Infomation Technology at UniSA would be better suited.
I then decided to move towards the Systems Admin/Networking side of coding and proceeded to transfer to
University of South Australia's Bachelor of IT (Systems Administration).
Over the course of my studies I learned the following languages/systems: Bash, C, C++, CSS, HTML ,Java,
Systems Admin & Networking!
After a period of self-reflection I decided to not continue with my studies and transitioned to one of
my dearly loved hobbies: Music!
2017 - Music Background
I then started my audio-centric studies at Tabor College in 2017 and completed the Certificate III in
Music Industry. This left me wanting to experience more of the audio world.
Furthering on my skillset I wanted to specialize in sound design for games/tv shows and movies which
lead me to SAE QANTM. I started the Diploma of Music Industry (Electronic Music Production) in 2018 and
Graduated in 2019.
While at SAE in a group project, our group got awarded for Campus Best Major Project in Any VET Program.
Pretty Exciting!
The project we got assigned to was to re-create the foley for a scene from a series of pre-selected
movies. We chose Toy Story as our project, we only had to re-create the foley and not the dialogue but
we decided to do everything (ADR, foley and finding applicable music).
Check out the final video here!
After SAE I took a break and started my instagram account and posted my newfound love for sound design, designing different environments,
taking on a few personal projects and experimenting! I then got working on a little server setup and self-hosting some microservices on a purpose built server.
2021 - 42 Adelaide Journey!
Around mid 2021 a friend referred me to an Ad at school opening up in Adelaide in 2021 called '42 Adelaide', I thought why not since I have a little background in coding!
I studied my little coding heart out for a solid month and passed the piscine! Yay!
Now the fun begins with the school starting in September!
2022 - Progression of 42 Adelaide Journey!
Getting through the projects at a good pace, currently working my way to Exam Rank 02 which will let me access further projects. Reattemting it in the next few weeks!
