About

Jesse Shanks

My name is Jesse

I am an IT Professional and Systems Administrator with a deep passion for full-stack development. I bridge the gap between infrastructure and application, integrating business logic, APIs, and databases while ensuring a seamless user experience. I work with technologies like React, Node.js, Astro, Tailwind CSS, and manage complex virtualization environments using Proxmox and ZFS.

My journey into technology began with a fascination for how systems interconnect. What started as managing servers grew into a professional career in IT administration and software development. Based in Texas, I thrive on solving technical challenges and building robust digital solutions.

I am committed to continuous growth, constantly adapting to new technological advances to exceed professional standards and deliver high-quality results.
