Hello, I'm Jaedon

Building systems that scale, and software that lasts.

I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Florida and an incoming Software Engineer at Datadog. I gravitate toward backend and distributed systems work, building software that has to hold up when things get complicated. I've worked across the stack and pick up whatever the problem needs. I care about writing code that's correct, fast, and built to last.
