# Jesse Brault: Full-Stack Software Engineer
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
**Welcome! I am a full-stack developer currently looking for work in the United States. If you would like my résumé, please message me.**
|
||
|
||
I began my career as a classically-trained conductor and composer, and am transitioning to software development full-time. I love programming, learning new languages and frameworks, and developing interesting and exciting projects. I am currently beginning studies at the University of Wisconsin Madison in computer science.
|
||
|
||
My programming interests lie in programming languages themselves (including grammars, lexers, parsers, ASTs, compilation, transpilation, etc.), web and app development (full-stack, including Spring, Node, and React), programming tools and plugins (Gradle and IntelliJ plugins), and functional programming. I have limited experience with PHP, and am also interested in graphics/game programming, and systems programming in C/C++.
|
||
|
||
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 and linguistic nature of software, and that sweet feeling When Things Just Work™️. I also enjoy the collaborative process of bringing new ideas and designs to life.
|
||
|
||
## Current Projects
|
||
|
||
### Full Stack
|
||
- **Meals Made Easy**: A full-stack remake of an earlier app, using a Java/Spring Boot backend and React/Vite frontend. 2024 *(in progress)*. [Frontend](https://github.com/JesseBrault0709/meals-made-easy-app) | [Backend](https://github.com/JesseBrault0709/meals-made-easy-api)
|
||
|
||
### JVM: Java and Groovy
|
||
- [**groowt**, or **Groovy Web Tools**](https://github.com/JesseBrault0709/groowt): A set of libraries, CLI tools, and Gradle plugins written mostly in Java for facilitating web-development in Groovy, emphasizing the model-view-controller paradigm. Includes a custom templating language inspired by ReactJS, with a compiler developed with the ANTLR parser generator. 2024 *(in progress)*.
|
||
- [**ssg**, or **Static Site Generator**](https://github.com/JesseBrault0709/ssg): A highly-extensible CLI application written entirely in Groovy for statically generating websites from text files and other input. I created this out of a need for a static site generator in which I could embed Groovy without all the hassle of a full-size server-oriented framework such as Grails. So far, I am using it for all my personal sites, and it has also been used outside of my own projects. 2023.
|
||
- [**jbarchiva**](https://github.com/JesseBrault0709/jbarchiva): A Gradle plugin to facilitate easy access to my personal Maven repository at [archiva.jessebrault.com](https://archiva.jessebrault.com/). 2022-2024.
|
||
|
||
### JavaScript/TypeScript
|
||
- [**jbci**, or **Jesse Brault Continuous Integration**](https://github.com/JesseBrault0709/jbci): A CI program written in TypeScript which listens to GitHub webhooks and then executes pre-configured shell scripts based on the webhook payload, mainly used to update my websites by simple pushes to my various GitHub repositories.
|
||
- [**jb-api**](https://github.com/JesseBrault0709/jb-api): A very simple utility backend written in TypeScript for my personal websites. Currently its only function is to recieve and handle mail requests (such as from a contact form).
|
||
|
||
### Web Sites
|
||
- [Personal Website](https://github.com/JesseBrault0709/temp-website): My personal website where I store information about my career as both a classical musician and a developer. <a href="https://jessebrault.com/" target="_blank">Visit site.</a>
|
||
- [Red Dog Ensemble](https://github.com/JesseBrault0709/reddog): A web site for a contemporary classical music ensemble I am co-founding in New York City. <a href="https://reddogensemble.com/" target="_blank">Visit site.</a>
|
||
|
||
## Past Projects
|
||
|
||
- [**Meals Made Easy**](https://github.com/JesseBrault0709/MealsMadeEasy): A fully-functioning meal-planning web-app developed during my time in _Co.Lab | You Belong in Tech_. I worked closely with a product manager and designer to make the project come alive! It is built with TypeScript, React, and SCSS.
