About Me

Hello! My name is Jerry and I am an aspiring Software Engineer from an academic and self taught background. I graduated in 2017 with a B.S in Computer Science and have since then developed a strong passion for web development. What excites me about Web Development is how ubiquitous and versitile it is. You can create almost everything with Web Technologies from desktop applications to mobile applications and convert one to another with just a few lines of code!

Ever since graduating I've never stopped myself from learning new things. I've helped create the barebones for an application for a company started with my brothers. I've worked at GAP Inc. building webpages for the Banana Republic international markets including the EU/UK and Japan. I am currently creating a Web Application that allows users to easily find things to do in their area, whatever their mood is (see Venplore in Projects).

Projects

What I've been working on...

Venplore Code

Venplore is a web application that allows users to easily share their favorite activities to do as well as find other activities to do no matter what their mood or preferences are.

ClubHub

ClubHub is a web-based mobile application that allows users to easily order drinks from bars straight from their phones. No more waiting to get the bartender's attention when you're at the clubs. Just order and pay from your mobile device and step up to the bar when its ready.

OnWatch Code

OnWatch is a Pebble Smartwatch application that keeps your emergency contacts easily accessible at a click of a button. Users may indicate their distress level and the application will send a text message to their emergency contacts with their distress level and last known location.

For this project, I led a group of 4 other students in HACKUCSC 2016 and where we received third place out of 100 other groups.

Nosh Code

Nosh is an Android application that allows users to randomly generate nearby restaurants based on preset parameters and have food delivered to them or call an uber to take them to the restaurant.

This is a project that was created during a Software Engineering Class. We utilized SCRUM and agile practices design to plan and build our application.
