A place for my photos, videos and thoughts.
Hello. I'm Jordy. Hit me up on my IG, X, or email me at justaswestudios@gmail.com.
Writing Code
I've developed code for over 50 instances of CRM codebases as a technical consultant, managed $200M+ insurance company's tech stack as a technical director, and always exploring new ways to improve my skills (current area of interest: CSS animations).
This Blog
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.
