About Me
I'm Jordan — I'm currently an IT engineer at a company called TCOM, where I design, engineer and manage IT infrastructure that supports the company's efforts in the aerospace and defense space. My work focuses on hybrid and cloud infrastructure, identity governance and management, cloud and hybrid application management, and making sure systems meet resilience standards for DoD contracting.
Before TCOM, I've worked in the biopharma and education space in various IT support and engineering roles.
I earned my Bachelor's in Computer and Network Security from Dakota State University in Madison, South Dakota.

Selected Projects
Automated Trading · Weather Markets · Claude AI
An automated trading bot that participates in temperature prediction markets on Kalshi. The bot pulls live weather data from multiple independent forecasting sources, builds a probabilistic model of what the day's high temperature will be across US markets on Kalshi. It tracks its own accuracy over time, corrects for systematic forecast biases it discovers, and uses a Claude-powered AI reasoning layer to sanity-check its signals before making bets.
In simple terms, a robot that bets money on the internet for me for beer money.
