Hey there! I'm Jordan, a recent IT grad with a knack for software development. I thrive on building cool stuff, from full-stack web apps to AI models. I'm a quick learner, a team player, and always up for a challenge. Fascinated by tech's future (especially AI!), I'm eager to dive in and make an impact.
Bachelor of Science in Information Technology
Concentration: Software Development
Graduated: December 2024
Also comfortable with: OOP, Functional Programming, Data Structures & Algorithms, REST APIs, Agile, CI/CD basics, Cloud Hosting, and Machine Learning concepts (CNNs).
Developed the official site for GGC's Grizzly Hacks club, managing USG hackathon events and registrations. A full-stack solution for a real-world need.
A React web app to simplify group meeting scheduling. Making coordination effortless with a clean interface and robust backend.
A Java-based plugin for RuneLite, offering an in-game, user-managed to-do list with task dependencies. Streamlining goals for gamers.
Trained a CNN with Python to classify musical instruments from spectrograms. Explored hyperparameter tuning for optimal accuracy.
Configured and maintain an Ubuntu server with Nginx, Docker, cloud storage, and media services. This very site is hosted here! A hands-on dive into sysadmin and web hosting.
A classic console-based text adventure game using Java, featuring SQLite for game data, map exploration, and turn-based combat.
My fascination with technology pairs with a love for discovery. I'm always exploring new frontiers, from breakthroughs in space via the JWST to the latest in AI literature (I'm an avid reader and an even more avid *adder* of books to my Goodreads list!). Learning what's next is a genuine thrill.
I believe in understanding tech from the ground up. I've built multiple PCs for myself and others, and configured the Linux server that (hopefully!) is delivering this page. Getting hands-on with hardware is just as rewarding as crafting elegant software.
When I unplug, you might find me deep in a game of Gloomhaven or D&D, hitting the disc golf course, or playing drums. My music taste is eclectic (Hamilton's a big one!), and I come fully equipped with a repertoire of dad jokes and puns—you've been warned!
I'm excited to bring this blend of technical skill, relentless curiosity, hands-on experience, and a proactive, positive attitude to a team that values innovation. I'm confident I can quickly become a valuable asset and help build amazing things.
While my professional background isn't directly in software development, these roles have equipped me with valuable soft skills like communication, problem-solving, and teamwork in fast-paced environments.
