Hello 👋

About Me
Welcome to my portfolio! My name is Jaden Wong. I am a software engineer based in NYC with a passion in full stack development and software engineering.
I recently graduated from Stony Brook University with a Bachelor's in Computer Science and am currently looking a full-time software developer position.
My technical expertise spans across full-stack development with a focus on both frontend and backend technologies. I am proficient in JavaScript, Python, Java and several other languages, as well as frameworks like Next.js and React.js.
I have interned at prominent organizations like Spotify and NYC Department for the Aging, where I honed my skills in data analysis, network operations, and software development. Most recently, I served as a Software Engineer Intern at Develop For Good, contributing to the development of a litigation tracking system for Human Rights First, a not-for-profit organization.
I am always looking for new challenges and opportunities to grow as a developer, with a strong commitment to delivering impactful, user-friendly solutions.
Outside of tech, you'll typically find me getting some gains at the gym, playing videogames and brewing a scrumptious latte.

Experience
Software Engineer Intern @Develop For Good
At Develop For Good, I played a key role in developing the Human Rights First Litigation Tracker, a full-stack web application designed to centralize and organize legal case data related to extremist actors and groups. By addressing the challenges of fragmented legal data, this platform now enables Human Rights First to manage and access litigation cases efficiently. My role in architecting the database and developing RESTful services using the T3 stack reinforces my commitment to using technology to drive positive social change.
Special Initiatives Unit Intern @NYC Department for the Aging
At the NYC Department for Aging, I used Python and data visualization tools to analyze the distribution of farmers' market coupons, providing strategic insights for targeted outreach to essential services for underserved senior populations. This experience highlighted the importance of data-driven decision-making in public service and sharpened my ability to translate complex data into actionable insights.
Network Operations Intern @Spotify
At Spotify, I migrated and renewed documentation, streamlining troubleshooting processes for the company's global IT infrastructure. This role enhanced my understanding of the operational challenges faced by large-scale technology companies and highlights the significance of maintaining robust, and secure IT systems.

When I'm not coding, I like to play videogames and hit the gym. My favorite day is chest day, but my favorite exercise is reverse curls!
Recently, I started my espresso journey and built a home cafe station! My favorite drinks are oat lattes and cold brews with vanilla sweet cold foam. In my free time, I love experimenting with different coffee beans and tweaking various variables to craft different delicious coffee drinks for my family to enjoy.
