Top SchoolJackson G is a software engineer with six years' experience blending platform engineering, data analysis, and media-focused research. With an MPhil from the University of Oslo, he has built research-grade tooling for 20 years of journal metadata and audio analysis and created public-facing React resources for music technology.
