Hello, my name is Jadon! I am currently enrolled at St. Cloud State as a 3rd year Software Engineering Student. In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, game developement, hobby coding, and more!
While I love the entire scope of development, I am especially passionate about Frontend developement, as it allows me to be creative.
I am a member of my university's Computer Science Club and Student Organization for Software Engineers. In these clubs, I have been able to problem solve, be involved in events, and work on projects with both students and faculty. I am always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow as a developer!
I build responsive, user-friendly interfaces using modern technologies like React, HTML, CSS, and Tailwind. My focus is on clean design, accessibility, and smooth user experience across devices.
I develop efficient and scalable back-end systems using tools like Node.js, Flask, MongoDB, and MySQL. I enjoy creating APIs, managing databases, and ensuring secure, robust server-side logic.
I create detailed 3D models and environments using Blender and integrate them into real-time engines like Unreal Engine 5. My work includes asset optimization, UV mapping, and material editing.
I develop interactive and immersive gameplay experiences using Unreal Engine 5 and Unity. From scripting mechanics to designing levels and implementing AI, I enjoy bringing game ideas to life from concept to prototype.

A fun game where you try to guess a random number 1-20. The faster you guess it, the higher score you get! Built in JavaScript.
Complete in a CoOp game where you must race the other player to 100 by rolling dice. Every turn you get, you have a temporary score, which you can add to as many times, as long as you do not roll a 1, if you do roll a 1, your temporary score gets erased. To avoid this, you can hold your temp score, which adds to your permanent, untouchable score. Be careful or be cautious, it's up to you!
