Jesse Brault: Full-Stack Software Engineer
Welcome! I am a full-stack software engineer currently looking for work in the New York City area, or Madison, WI. If you would like a copy of my résumé, please message me.
I began my career as a classically-trained conductor and composer. While still freelancing as a musician, I started teaching myself software development in 2019, eventually developing skills in Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, and their associated ecosystems. In 2024, I began studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to earn a Professional Capstone Degree in Computer Science. I took core computer science courses which expanded both the breadth and depth of my CS knowledge. I am proud to have completed the program in just two semesters, earning a 4.0 GPA along the way.
My programming interests lie in full-stack web app development and programming language design/implementation. My two current projects reflect these interests:
- Meals Made Easy (Frontend | Backend): A full-stack meal-planning app designed to streamline tasks such as choosing recipes for meals, writing custom recipes, maintaining grocery shopping lists, and light-weight social networking within families for deciding upon meals throughout the week. Built with Java/Spring Boot and Angular/TypeScript.
- Deimos Lang: A custom programming language inspired by a variety of programming idioms I find beautiful and useful, including Rust, Ruby, Java, Groovy, Kotlin, and so on. Rust is the host language for the compiler and virtual machine.
Overall, I aim to be highly versatile and adept at adopting new technologies. I seek every day to hone my craft and become a better developer. I enjoy the logical, mathematical, and linguistic nature of software, and that sweet feeling When Things Just Work™️.
