# 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](https://guide.wisc.edu/nondegree/capstone/computer-sciences-professionals-capstone-certificate/).
|
||
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](https://git.jessebrault.com/jessebrault/meals-made-easy-app) | [Backend](https://git.jessebrault.com/jessebrault/meals-made-easy-api)): 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**](https://git.jessebrault.com/jessebrault/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™️.
