// welcome!
my name is Jordan Baron. I am a self-taught programmer who has been at it since I was eleven, with two years of professional experience. I primarily do frontend stuff, but I have backend experience and am currently diving into low level programming with Zig. I am currently open to full-time and contract work! Shoot me an email at [email protected] if you're interested in hiring me.
Here's what others have to say about me: 
"Jordan is one of those rare young engineering talents that just relishes in problem-solving. Doesn't matter what language, what framework, he just dives in and figures it out. Any team looking to hire him would be lucky to have him."
