About Me
Endless Possibilities

Jay is a graduate of Southern Illinois University and the University of Toledo College of Law. His many experiences have led him to understand and appreciate the hopes, concerns and needs of different people from vastly different walks of life. For example, he worked as a practicing attorney at his own law firm before leaving the field to take care of his grandparents. He has worked as a teacher teaching English as a second language and as a substitute teacher for Chicago Public Schools, as well as being a baseball and football coach. Now, as a lifelong learner, Jay is extremely exited about entering yet another field of expertise: software engineering. Jay was born on the south side of Chicago and has returned there after living in the suburb of Oak Park for several years. Jay's education and unique experience allow him to be able to provide a wide range of quality services. In his spare time Jay works as a Disk Jockey. He loves music and is fascinated by its mathematical complexity. As a hobby, he also enjoys reading, cooking and music production. He plays the drums, piano and bass guitar.

A Few of My Skills:
I'm A Fast Learner!

Jay is truly committed to being a lifelong learner and he finds the entire field of computer science to be compelling. So, he took on the challenge and completed the software engineering bootcamp with Per Scholas Chicago. Now Jay is building on that intensive course by continuing his studies and continuing to quickly build on his knowledge. He appreciates that the tech world is very fast moving and always changing, and he has accepted the challenge of continuously building and adapting his skills in order to meet the needs of potential partners and employers.
