Hi 👋🏻😀,I’m Jon Taylor, a Software Engineer with over two and a half years of experience. I recently worked as a Full Stack Developer at Entelect, contributing to critical projects for clients like De Beers Diamonds and Standard Bank. My main technologies are C# .NET, Javascript, MS SQL and Azure.At De Beers, I enhanced a legacy Sales Planning System and developed a feature to predict diamond demand, improving client accuracy and cost efficiency. My work also included implementing RabbitMQ for data consistency and building dynamic user interfaces with React and SignalR WebSockets.In my current role at Standard Bank, I spearheaded the setup of a greenfield project, leading the development of an Angular and TypeScript front end.Here are some highlights from my journey:Tabstronaut: Developed a VS Code extension for tab management, placing 1st solo project in the Entelect Tech Accelerator competition: https://github.com/jhhtaylor/tabstronautLDPC Codes Deep Learning Project: Designed and implemented a deep learning model to decode Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes, achieving significant improvements in bit error rates: https://drive.google.com/file/d/164qCd-4T5nT_fK7WOB7VX9Pg-xsBQGyI/viewI hold a BSc in Electrical Engineering from the University of the Witwatersrand and several cloud certifications, including Microsoft Azure and AWS.In my spare time, I just completed my first marathon, the Joburg North City Marathon. Following an 18-week plan, I went from a running novice to agonizing over the order of running gels to take during my weekend long runs, culminating in completing the marathon!Feel free to connect with me to discuss software development, machine learning, or marathon training tips!
