Jon Dominguez

Hello! I'm Jon
I'm experienced in a wide-range of fields of software engineering but I'm currently interested in Full-Stack/Frontend Developer roles

Since focusing on Web Development, I've worked with React, Redux, Ruby on Rails, MERN, and more

Who I am

Background

I was first introduced to writing code when I had to take an Intro to Computer Science class as part of my Electrical Engineering major at the University of California, Riverside. I immediately fell in love and switched my major. The curriculum mostly focused on C++, data structures and algorithms and I also took some classes in Networks, Operating Systems, Databases and more.

Despite the great education I was getting at UCR, I felt like there was so much more to learn. So I started teaching myself HTML, CSS, and JavaScript--just enough to learn how to develop and sell Google Chrome Extensions. My extensions reached thousands of users and I developed a passion for creating beautiful, user-friendly applications.

Currently

Over the last few months, I've been picking up new skills and working on projects to showcase those skills. I really enjoy working with React/Redux to create responsive web pages with predictable state. I also like trying to design pages pixel perfect to the specs. I'm currently seeking Full-Stack/Frontend Developer roles in the San Francisco Bay Area.

When I'm not writing code, you can catch me doing all sorts of things. Some of my hobbies include drawing photo-realistic portraits, watching all the shows and movies I can like The Office and Game of Thrones, and training my dream dog--my Miniature Bull Terrier, Chance!
