Hello, I'm Jourdan 👾

I build start-ups.

I'm a full-stack software engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with a decade of experience building and deploying web apps and APIs from zero.

I've built all types of start-ups, from pre-seed with 0 employees, to mid-stage that IPO'ed during my tenure.

I'm currently employed full-time. But on the side, I love to prototype, research and study to become the best product engineer I can be 🛠️📚. I'm also on Twitter a lot.

Video Games 🎮

When I'm not coding, I stream and talk Pokemon, fighting games 🐬, and JRPGs.

I enjoy playing some games competitively. I was a 2023 and 2024 World Championship competitor in Pokemon.

Casually, I'll wind down with a good RPG like Final Fantasy. I'm on the Dawntrail hype, catch me on Behemoth in FFXIV.
