Hi, I'm Jeff Hi, I'm Jeff

Welcome


I'm a software engineer in the Greater Boston Area

Since graduating with a BS in Computer Science from Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken, NJ) in 2019, I'm back to my home state of Massachusetts working in support engineering at an Education SaaS organization. While I enjoy working in a variety of branches of software engineering, my professional experience thus far has been primarily in web software, such as ColdFusion and Node applications, and database management. I'm excited to see what the future holds for my career and life in general... and all the bad puns I'm sure to make along the way!

Projects

Bit by a Grue Podcast

Biweekly gaming/technology podcast live on Apple, Google, Stitcher, and Spotify. I primarily cover videogame and XR content, though there is frequent crossover.

ASDB

(AirSoft DataBase) Website to provide a comprehensive listing of airsoft parts and data about them. A big challenge thus far was enforcing data integrity at the DB level on a dynamic schema (items needing to have different required attributes based on category, that may change over time) - solved via Triggers on JSON columns.

This website

Presently a simple HTML/CSS/JS website hosted via GitHub Pages. May transition to Jekyll or to a web app down the line, if the need for more dynamic content arises. For now, a static webpage seemed the most effective and efficient way to convey this information

Coffeeist.io

Work-in-progress personal project website. It will be my personal website for hobby content (such as airsoft and gaming), and will entail a variety of projects, such as a website for my airsoft team (including some internal utilities such as event scheduling, logistics management, and media storage), as well as serving as a 'sandbox' for other web development projects I have in mind (such as continuing a modern web forum project I started for a class).

Miscord Bot Modifications

Some edits to Miscord, a bot that links Facebook Messenger with Discord. Aiming to add video linking, Messenger mentions, and RegEx to trim Discord server names. Eventually considering creating a similar solution from scratch myself, to provide a custom centralized messaging interface to integrate multiple other messaging services.

Stevens Senior Design Project

(2018-19) Developed a web and mobile application for a startup client with a Stevens team. Consisted of an AWS-hosted Node/Express/MySQL web application serving a Handlebars website and React Native mobile app.

Vets4Warriors CLR

(2016-17) Developed a "Counselor Laptop Resource" - a MEAN web application - with a Stevens team, to provide Vets4Warriors counselors with a convenient and quick means of keeping and accessing external resources to provide for callers.
