Jonathan Chaffer
Software Consultant & Developer

I’ve always been passionate about creating things. I’ve explored several creative mediums — illustration, animation, music, graphic design, and more. Most recently, my interests have turned toward computer software. This field not only satisfies my desire to create, but also has an interactive aspect that most other creative media lack. Good software provides utility, convenience, and enjoyment to its users. I’m excited to play a part in its development.
I graduated from Hope College in 2021 with a degree in computer science, communication, and graphic design. This combination of skills gives me a unique perspective on software development, allowing me to approach problems from a variety of angles. My experience as a teaching assistant developed my ability to teach and learn.
I like to focus on building software that's delightful to interact with, both from a developer (DX) and customer (UX) perspective. Software is as much an art as it is a science, and it should be beautiful from the inside out.
Outside of work, I enjoy being outdoors, playing games, and making art — and my backlog of personal projects is ever-growing.
