Hello!

My name is Jack Russell. I am a recent College Graduate in Computer Science from Texas State University. This coming April, I am excited to be starting as a Software Developer Engineer at Charles Schwab in the NERD Program. I am passionately interested in Machine Learning, IoT, and automation roles in software engineering. My early career goal at Charles Schwab is to settle in by becoming a sponge for information, to learn as much as I can, and become a positive contributor as soon as I possibly can. Eventually I would like to get to a place in my career where I am making decisions that directly impact and push forward innovation wherever I am working and in the world.

What I'm Passionate About

Full-Stack Development

I have been dabbling in full-stack development for a little over 3 years now in different tech stacks including Django, Angular, .NET, Postgres, etc. I really enjoy making intuitive products and user interfaces for websites, and the challenge of learning new frameworks keeps me excited!

IoT Design & Development

The internet of things is a new frontier as processing power increases on smaller devices. I believe that these products which are often small in form factor but high in impact due to their ability to automate monotnonous tasks, are only going to continue growing in popularity. Plus, they are fun to design!

Machine Learning

I don't think I am being very original in saying machine learning is the future. However, I really enjoy thinking about out of the box ways to apply machine learning, and I have had the fortune of working on a few really impactful projects within non-profits, NASA's Artemis Mission, and a game theory.

Leadership & Mentoring

I have always had a passion for people. Seeing those around me succeed, especially those who are on a similar path to my own, brings me such joy and fullfillment inside and outside my career.
