// about
I'm Jack — a software engineer who's worked across the full spectrum, from large enterprise teams to being the first engineer at a pre-seed startup. I thrive in environments that demand creative thinking and a bias toward action. Right now I'm building real-time systems at the PGA Tour, bringing the same mindset I've carried from day one: ship good software, keep learning, and make things that matter.
2017 – 2021
University of Florida
Earned a BS in Computer Science with a Minor in Entrepreneurship. Coursework ranged from application security and compiler design to a semester-long project with a B-Corp company — and it was here I realized I wanted to build real things, not just study them.
Jan 2019 – Sep 2020
UF CISE Department
While still a student, I built and maintained multiple student-facing apps for the CS department. Introduced automated scripts that cut processing times by 30%, and got hands-on with the full deployment stack — Git, Digital Ocean CI/CD, and NGINX. My first real production software.
Sep 2020 – Feb 2023
UKG
Started as an intern and grew into a Senior Engineer on the Design System team. Led the development of a component library now used by 2,000+ engineers across UKG. Championed test-driven development and CI/CD improvements that reduced bug rates by 40% and sped up release cycles by 25%. Also mentored interns and led technical demos for leadership.
Feb 2023 – Mar 2026
MX Locker
First engineer at a pre-seed motocross marketplace startup. Built the entire platform from scratch — a Next.js app with Firebase backend, a recommendation engine that boosted user engagement by 50%, and an integration suite that generated the company's first SaaS revenue. Led a team of contractors, cut hosting costs by 50%, and reduced search costs by 66%.
Mar 2026 – Present
PGA Tour
Working on Shotlink2, the PGA Tour's next-generation real-time shot-tracking platform. Building event-driven systems in C# on AWS that process and deliver live scoring and shot data during tournaments — powering the experiences fans, broadcasters, and tour officials rely on every week.
