Hello! My name is Jakub Paweł Cichon. I'm passionate about technology.
I'm an IT Professional with 5 years of experience supporting enterprise applications in the banking industry. I communicate in English fluently and have a working proficieny in Polish. I've got a degree in Statistics from the University of Connecticut and I find myself drawn to technology beccause of what it enables me to do. What I enjoyed most about my academic experience was writing code in R and Python for statistical computing. I worked as a Web Infrastructure Specialist at a banking software company in Connecticut starting in September 2018 until April 2023 when I stepped away to take a chance and reset my career. I'm currently working at a local university supporting the campus ERP software and other software tools and products the school relies on. I have experience with supporting large distributed applications, application deployment, shell scripting, CLI tool development and incident management. I love finding ways to make my team's daily work more efficient. I like to build tools to solve my own problems. I'm constantly on the hunt for new knowledge and if there were a certification for internet-searching your way out of a problem, I'd have one. I'm also a fan of open source software.
My Projects
Take a look at what I've been working on lately.
kingme.gg
kingme.gg is an online checkers game built with Node.js, Express, React, MongoDB, GraphQL, and TailwindCSS. Multiplayer support is still a work-in-progress. Currently users can choose to play in a hot-seat mode where they play against someone else locally on the same device.
G.R.I.M.S
G.R.I.M.S (General Retail Inventory Management System) is an online inventory management system. Users can log in and view, add and edit or delete products. They have the ability to manage the price and current stock of individual items. This application integrates with the cloud image host Cloudinary and is hosted on Heroku.
Mega Tech Blog
Mega Tech Blog is an online micro-blogging platform focused on technical discussions relating to web developement, devops, and security. Users can create an account and post about their experiences with various technologies or their thoughts on anything tech-related. Users can also comment on other users' posts. This application is built with the MVC paradigm, uses the MEHN stack (MySQL, Express, Handlebars and Node.js), and is hosted on Heroku.
Social Network API
This is a RESTful API that serves as a backend for a social network web application where users can share their thoughts, react to friends thoughts, and create a friend list. This application uses a NoSQL database and is built with Express.js.
Employee Tracker CLI Content Management System
Employee Tracker is a CLI content management system (CMS). The purpose of this tool is to manage a database of employees at your company. This application runs on Node.js and connects to a MySQL database. When you run it you will be presented with choices that include creating, reading, updating, and deleting information from the CMS. The data is displayed in a table in your terminal.
