A little bit about me

Hi y'all. I'm John. I'm a second year ECE student at UT Austin from Houston, Texas. I love hackathons, working on hardware projects, and web development. Currently interning at the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation as a software engineering intern building internal web apps.

In my free time, I like to explore cities, train Jiu Jitsu, and of course Texas football.

Right now, I'm designing a "hackathon" ESP32 devboard with native LiPo battery support, and learning Verilog.

Some of my experiences

Working with the Enterprise Information Management Group on the bureau's asset management systems — optimizing SQL Server schemas, building data dashboards for Western US regional offices, and independently developing the Land Use Authorization System, a Next.js and FastAPI app that automates SF-299 form tracking and multi-stage approval workflows.

Leading a team of 4 engineers building Longhorn Studies (github.com/Longhorn-Developers/Longhorn-Studies), a study recommendation app for UT Austin's 50,000+ students, within Longhorn Developers — a student-run open source dev org at UT Austin (Hook 'em Horns 🤘). Writing specs, running parallel development across React Native, Flask, and Supabase, and still building core screens from Figma alongside our design team.

Beautiful designs built by the Longhorn Studies design team.


Competed in hackathons across the country, most recently YHack at Yale and HackClub's Undercity at GitHub HQ. Each one's a different problem, a different team, and a different excuse to build something fast and figure out the details later.
