Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolThomas Jespersen is a freelance software engineer based in Fort Collins, Colorado, with about four years of experience combining front-end development, QA, and embedded tinkering while finishing a BS in Computer Software Engineering and Mathematics at MSU Denver. He bridges QA rigor and front-end craft—past roles at TransPerfect and Apple and a junior front-end/QA stint led to contributions on the Skeleton design system, where he built and tested Tailwind/Svelte UI components. His technical curiosity was sparked not in a classroom but by writing embedded C for an Arduino to control a linear actuator on a vinyl record cutter, illustrating practical problem-solving and creative hardware–software integration. Focused and self-driven, he balances client work and open-source contributions with Colorado Rockies pursuits like snowboarding, hiking, and camping.
