I'm Jonathon, better known online as ThatComputerNerd (or some variation if the username is taken - GitHub and Reddit being main examples of this 🙃). I am a passionate, primarily self-taught programmer with a love for tech. I began learning programming with projects in languages like Java and Python - the projects publicly available on here are just a few select examples of what I've done over the years.
Currently, I'm working as an Associate Software Engineer at WiseTech Global under their innovative Earn & Learn program. I'm proud to be one of 52 students within the second ever cohort which started January 2024 - looking forward to getting to mentor the newbies coming in next year! Now half way through their Rotations program, which has me developing in 4 different teams over 2 years before selecting a regular team to develop under, I've learned much about C#, MS SQL and Enterprise Software development so far and am eager to continue learning even more in the years ahead.

- 🏛️ I'm currently juggling an accelerated, part-time Bachelor of Computing Science (IDeA) degree at UTS with full-time work at WiseTech Global. One year down, three to go!
- 💻 Personal projects are on hold for now, thanks to the demands of work and uni. But I do have a backlog of ideas, so new content might be coming soon! Most of it will probably be in C# since it's kind of become my main language now, but I've also got a couple of ideas for web projects which could be interesting 🤔
- 📫 Want to connect? I'm almost always available on Discord, though I also have other social medias I sometimes use (see below).
I have worked with all of these languages in various capacities, whether as a personal project, educational project or as an enterprise-level project. Of these languages, I am most comfortable with Java, Python and C#, which I have several years of previous experience with and still actively use even now. The other languages above are tools in my kit so to say, but not a primary focus at this stage.
I use a load of different tools and IDEs in developing my projects. My main IDE of choice for is typically the JetBrains-equivalent product, but Microsoft's Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code are also frequently used.
I'm well-versed in several enterprise development practices like TDD, SOLID Principles and CI/CD, which are essential for keeping large projects organised, clean and efficient.
