About

I'm a software engineer in Chicago. I've been building and maintaining scalable, stable web applications since 2016.

As a full-stack engineer, I specialize in backend development, with a track record of implementing integrations with third parties and custom APIs.

I pay attention to communication gaps between teams and see translating across professional languages as part of my job. I like kicking off projects by asking the basic questions out loud, so everyone shares the same understanding from the start.

Software is one half of what I do. The other half is art; it lives at jerrygerou.art.
