Hi, welcome to my desk! I'm Emi.
Hi, welcome to my desk!
I'm Emi.
I like to make web tools and do other things.
Scroll on to see what I'm working on these days.
If you're new here ...
Let's get properly introduced!
I'm a professional software engineer with a focus on full-stack web development and design. I find satisfaction in building high quality, accessible web applications.
I also love learning and helping others learn new scientific concepts. I recently worked as a museum science educator, and these days you can often find me reading about ecology and relativity in physics.
On the more creative side of things, I enjoy drawing, painting, occasional music-making, and sewing/mending.
If you're here, you may be interested in working with me. If so, reach out anytime at emikjackson@gmail.com.
Web development
Here are some common pieces in my development process, along with my most frequently used applications, languages, and libraries.
- Design and wireframes - Figma, Sketch
- Database setup - MongoDB, PostgreSQL
- Data preparation & web scraping - Python, R
- Backend API - Node.js/Express, Django
- Frontend - React, Svelte, JS/HTML/CSS

Interactive samples
While much of my professional work has focused on full web systems with collaborative teams, here are a couple of smaller projects I've created recently to try out new concepts.
The web frontend, plus some backend contributions, for a simple note taking application. Used by over 1k users.
A little listen-and-guess music quiz, for funsies. Style inspired by an electronic metronome I practiced with growing up. View code

Not professionally, I also like to draw, paint, sew, etc!
Will add a small portfolio or link here soon.
