About me

I'm Johnathan, a full-stack developer with over five years of experience building personal-use applications and exploring blockchain technology. I hold a Bachelor's degree and am actively pursuing an Associate's degree in Mathematics, alongside formal coursework in computer science.

My current focus is on niche, beta-stage projects designed to solve real-world problems for targeted communities. I'm especially passionate about large language models and accessibility tech, and I'm channeling that energy into building inclusive tools for people with disabilities.

My academic path is expanding into software engineering and information science, reinforcing a clear goal: to build a small dev shop focused on practical, scalable tools. They won't be flashy—but they'll work, and they'll work well enough to catch the attention of companies looking for real solutions.

I'm not chasing fame. I'm here to build useful things, champion accessibility, keep learning, and make the grind more sustainable.
