Hi, I'm James Teuscher (Jtoosh) πŸ‘‹

CS student @ Brigham Young University focused on building tools that do real good in the world. So far I've worked in turning study + memory concepts into practical interfaces using React & TypeScript, with Python for some scripting and logic. Two years supporting BYU Religious Education taught me reliability, clear communication, and user empathy.


πŸš€ Current Focus

  • Ambient flashcard (passive spaced repetition) app
  • Python data processing with plans for Typescript UI
  • Lightweight performance + debugging habits

🧩 Core Stack

React β€’ Node.js β€’ TypeScript β€’ JavaScript β€’ Python β€’ Git β€’ Java β€’ ESLint/Prettier
(Also: custom hooks, component composition, accessibility mindset, troubleshooting)


🌟 Projects

Study Platform (byu-cs260)
Flashcard Web App using semantic encoding and mnemonic devices. Reusable components, flashcard functionality and plans for quizing functionality

Ambient Flashcards (note-of-the-day)
Experiment in subtle spaced repetition. File scraping with JSON storage, with plans for scheduling algorithm for spaced review.


πŸ”¬ Philosophy

Use my tools and skills to do good in people's lives. Build with long-term perspective. Don't take shortcuts.


πŸ—Ί Near-Term Roadmap

  • Architecture notes (short diagrams)
  • Internship apps (Summer 2026)

🀝 Open To

Internship (frontend / full-stack) β€’ Collaborations on learning/memory tools β€’ Feedback on projects
