A place for my photos, videos and thoughts.
Hello. I'm Jordy and I am coder by trade. I type at 100 WPM and have experience as a full-stack developer when it comes to the AWS, Salesforce and MERN. On the side, I enjoy messing around with scripting languages like lua and bash.
For comments and questions, please email me at minijoo-at-gmail-dot-com.

Right around when Google introduced paid cloud storage, I had an idea to build my own storage system, leveraging the web hosting benefits I was already paying for. The main goal was to upload photos and videos in their original quality for a fraction of Google's price by using a storage system like S3. Around the same time, also needing a personal blog as a software engineer does, I decided to also add a blogging/posting element to the project. Thus, Jordys.Site was born.
Additionally, all paragraphs in this blog, including ones on this page, use Knuth and Prass's Linebreak algorithm to display paragraphs in a manner newspapers, books, and technical papers would display them. This famous algorithm uses dynamic programming to determine what spaces to split the lines (and what words and where in those words to hyphenate), so that negative space between words are minimized for the entire paragraph. Shout out to the JS library, tex-linebreak, for making this work on HTML pages.
