Hello, I'm Jordan, a software engineer based in New York currently focused on building fullstack systems that scale, interfaces that feel good, and products that solve real problems.
I care about clarity, quality and all the small details that make software feel great to use. A problem solver at heart, I enjoy turning complex ideas into useful products.
Take a look around, see what I've been up to, and let's see what we can build together.
