ABOUT

I'm Jordan

A developer who loves design and working on exotic ideas. I like to think beyond the box and set new patterns. I am immersed in the ai/ml space and like to build innovative yet simple solutions to solve real problems.

Interests

  • I love movement. from running to climbing, I want to push myself to achieve extraordinary feats.
  • I enjoy exploring all kinds of new topics, along with finding purpose and figuring out how to live freely.

If you'd like to learn more about me, check out my logs.

FIRST ENTRY

Covering the reason for creating this "logs" section, my pursuits for 2026, and more.

FIRST ENTRY

Greetings people,

I have been meaning to start writing entries or "logs" to my portfolio for way too long. I am now finally getting to it after remaking my website for the millionth time.

The intention behind these entries is to help me share about what I am learning, while also sharing it with others to entertain, help, or inspire them. Moreover, I have wanted to further explore writing as it's very soothing and I find myself writing less and less with AI, so you'll have to bear with my grammar.

2026

Now that it is 2026, I'd like to share some things I want to accomplish this year to look back on and hold myself accountable. I remember thinking on New Year's Eve how fast time seems to move, and just like that we are 6 days in already.

I'll break up the goals into 3 categories. 1. Professional & Technical, 2. Movement, and 3. Personal.

Professional & Technical

  • Get a job at an epic company
  • Become proficient in vim
  • Go to 5 hackathons(two planned so far)
  • Contribute to an open-source project
  • Cool solo project(few ideas in mind)

Movement

  • Run a sub 4 hour marathon (running cowtown marathon March 1st(follow me on strava @jordan joelson))
  • Half ironman
  • Lead climbing certification
  • Get clean muscle ups
  • be able to hold hand stand

Personal

  • Write weekly here
  • Work on my tonality
  • level up my meal prepping
  • breath work daily

I will most likely come back here to add or make some of them more specific.

Conclusion

I plan to write on here weekly, improving the quality of them as I go with visuals and better structure.

Remember to not let moments pass you by, and do it NOW.
