Jeff True Jones - Software Developer

Hey There! I'm Jeff True Jones.

I am a full-stack software developer proficient in JavaScript frameworks and HTML/CSS. I currently reside in Durham, NC with my partner and our four cats.

I pursued web development before working in the music industry as a performer and voice instructor. In 2020 I sustained a vocal injury that prevented me from continuing this career path. I lost the ability to speak or sing for an extended period of time and had to rely on text-to-speech apps to communicate.

Through this experience I reconnected with my passion for technology and was inspired to pursue software development. I hope to help others in a similar fashion by creating software and web applications that are accessible to everyone. I am insatiably curious and am thrilled to be in a field where there is always more to learn.

My specialities include front and back-end development, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React.js, Express.js, and PostgreSQL. I am particularly interested in creating software relating to the music business, web accessibility, and assistive applications.

This webpage is my portfolio of software development projects. I am looking for free-lance web development opportunities, contract work, and full-time employment.

Projects

Restaurant Reservation System

React.js/Express.js/PostgreSQL/Heroku

I designed, implemented, and deployed this three-tier full-stack Restaurant reservation application which includes a UI, custom express API, and PostgreSQL database. The main use case for this application is to aid restaurant workers in keeping track of reservations received over the phone.

Website For Local Massage Therapy Business

Next.Js/Strapi.io/Vercel/HTML/CSS

I implemented this JAMstack website for a local client. The design choices are entirely reflective of the tastes of the client, but I built the project without a CSS framework. This project utilizes static and dynamic rendering, a headless CMS, and third party APIs for different functionalities, and is entirely responsive.
