Mid Level Software Engineer

Hello!

My name is Jordan Baron. I am a 20 year-old developer out of Staunton, Virginia. I have been programming since I was eleven and have years of experience hacking on personal projects and things for friends. I have been a software engineer professionally for 2 years. Over that time I have worked at Heirloom, a self-sovereign identity startup, where I was the primary frontend developer. At Heirloom, I worked across multiple projects using React and Next.js, as well as some backend work using Nest.js. I also spent some time at Franklin Payroll, a crypto-native payroll company, where I implemented a full-site redesign. Currently, I do contract work at Froggy Labs, an NFT company, where I have worked on staking and bridging features. 

I thrive in fast-paced environments that require me to pay close attention to detail. I am adept at working across multiple projects at once, and I take pride in the work I produce.

I'm primarily looking for something remote and full-time, but I am not against contract work.
