I build software.
I teach people
to build it, too.
I'm Jeff. I've worked on privacy infrastructure, SaaS integrations, and developer tools. These days, I'm also building with AI and teaching others how to use it.
Selected work
A few things
I've built.
Financial software
FiduciCalc
Charitable gift calculations for planned giving professionals. Work where a small numerical difference deserves an explanation.
Rust · Actuarial calculations · APIs
A small daily practice
Do The Hard Thing
Name what's uncomfortable, choose one thing that matters, and protect a block of time to do it. A deliberately small, offline-first app.
React · TypeScript · Progressive web app
A little background
Building and explaining.
At Transcend, I worked on privacy and data-rights infrastructure across third-party systems. Before that, I taught full-stack development at UNC Charlotte's coding bootcamp.
I now run Queen City Cortex and work on my own software projects. Teaching is still part of the work: helping people understand what AI tools can do, where they fail, and how to use them with judgment.

I'm interested in individual-contributor engineering roles, thoughtful collaborations, and teaching opportunities.
