Hi, my name’s Jackson. I’m a full-stack web developer from Chicago.
I’m currently working at Discovery Education, an edtech company whose webapps are used by more than 50 million students worldwide; I was previously at Multiple, Inc., a strategic design firm.
Most of my work right now is on the front end, either with older apps written in Backbone/Marionette or with newer projects in Vue.
Made a single-font typeface a couple years back that I’d like to find a good use for.
Currently reading: Después del trabajo.
Currently playing: Princess Peach Showtime 😅.
When possible I usually work with Stylus, ES6+, and Webpack 5. I used to be a big React/Redux boy, but I’ve been enjoying Vue lately.
I have more limited experience in Ruby, Python, PHP, MongoDB and MySQL. It’s nice that with web development each project is a little different, and there’s often an opportunity to write plugins or scripts in different languages.
