Jordan Doan

I'm Jordan and I am a Full Stack Developer who loves to learn and problem solve, especially when it comes to building applications. I graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology and a Minor in Applied Mathematics.

My first exposure to programming was during my freshman year at UW, where I took two Java classes. My favorite part about programming was learning how to think and approach algorithm problems, and eventually solving them. I spent many hours on Practice-It studying Binary Trees and Linked Lists.

A few years later, I took a Web Development class, while also working with MATLAB in my Applied Math (AMATH) classes. I decided to pursue a career in Software Engineering when I realized that the Shooting method I learned in AMATH was nearly identical to the the Binary Search algorithm. I enrolled in Lambda School to learn full stack development and have loved every minute of it.

Quality Hub is a marketplace and community where job seekers can connect with career coaches to receive feedback and develop their skills. InterviewQ focuses on mock interviews, powered by video-conferencing, a review and feedback system, as well as a scheduling system.

Built with React, Apollo Client, Apollo Federation, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL. Collaborated with 7 other developers and a UX designer over 3 months.
