L.J. / Love Jesus Software

About Me

Hi, I'm L.J. (there's a story behind that!). I'm an experienced software engineer in Fort Myers, and desire to solve real-world problems in a robust, efficient, secure, and Godly way, in order to help others and support spreading the Gospel. I hope to practice keeping Jesus at the center in my code, where others have participated in the benefits in doing this as well.

With decades of experience, I've built everything from 3D games and websites to desktop and mobile applications. I'm also proficient in managing Linux and BSD server environments and have operated a wide range of systems, from Windows and Mac down to the classic Commodore 64.

My goal is to efficiently serve your needs—whether it's website or game development, software tutoring, or tech support—at competitive rates, all guided by my commitment to faith in Christ

On a more technical note: My expertise includes backend systems (Python/Django, Rust, Ruby on Rails, Elixir/Phoenix), AI integration, cloud architecture (AWS, Google Cloud), and DevOps practices. I enjoy tackling complex technical challenges and have a background in modernizing large-scale systems, 3D game engine creation, enhancing security, developing AI solutions, and building diverse applications for various organizations.

I am seeking challenging freelance or contract opportunities, locally or remotely, where I can leverage my skills to serve others and contribute to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ globally.
