Adam Gordon – Software Engineer Portfolio Introduction

Hi, I'm Adam Gordon, a Software Engineer based in the NYC/Metro Area. I am currently building practical applications like EZ Logger, an application I developed to fit my vision of what a good note taking application is. I'm also developing a Guitar Training App intended to help myself and others learn music theory.

I enjoy using my skills to help myself and others get ahead, and I am in the midst of opening a small business focused on helping other small businesses promote themselves. I'm also open to working with startups and entrepreneurs who need assistance with their projects, or for a corporate entity with a team.
My preferred stack currently is NextJS15 (TSX), TailwindCSS, with a PostgreSQL backend.

About Me

From Inside Sales to Full‑Stack Development, I transitioned by earning a BSc in Computer Programming & Information Systems from SUNY Farmingdale as an adult learner. Since early 2022 I have taken on a variety of development roles:

  • Internship at an international company
  • Freelance development work
  • Contributor to a major Social Media prototype with JavaScript Mastery

Current Entrepreneurial Focus

I'm building a small business aimed at delivering affordable, streamlined solutions for small businesses, startups, and entrepreneurs. I love leveraging technology to ship purposeful, maintainable products.

  • Utilize my full range of technical and problem-solving skills
  • Offer flexibility (remote work or relocation considered)

Beyond Work

Outside of coding and entrepreneurship, I recharge through:

  • Golf: Perfecting my swing and enjoying the strategic challenge
