Hi, I'm Jimmy πŸ‘‹

Full-Stack Developer | Sim Racing Enthusiast | Building AI Tools for Real Life

I'm a developer at iRacing where I get to combine my passion for motorsports with my love for building great software. After dropping out of college, teaching myself to code, and earning my Associates in IT, I found my dream job where I was a customer long before I became an employee.

πŸš€ What I'm Building

  • AI-Powered Family Tools: Creating practical AI applications that automate the mundane and enrich daily life
  • Voice-Enabled Scorekeeper: Building a universal card game scoring app that works with any game via voice/text input
  • Personal Finance Intelligence: Developing AI tools to analyze spending patterns and provide actionable lifestyle insights

πŸ’» Tech Stack & Expertise

Frontend: React, TypeScript, React Router, Chakra UI
Build Tools: Vite, Webpack, React Router Vite Plugin, Babel
Backend: Node.js, Express, API Development
Version Control: Git, GitHub
Exploring: AI/LLM Integration, Voice Recognition, MCP (Model Context Protocol)

🏁 Professional Journey

Started my tech career in 2005 after realizing sports management wasn't my path. Self-taught developer who weathered the 2008 recession, earned an Associates in IT from UMass Lowell (2017), and landed at iRacing in 2018 - proof that passion and persistence matter more than traditional credentials.

🎯 Current Focus

  • Building AI tools that solve real problems for families
  • Exploring practical applications of LLMs in everyday workflows
  • Contributing to open source projects that matter
  • Maintaining sustainable work-life balance as a father
