a brief:
Welcome to my website! I am Jackson, a Software Engineer at
Vixxo in Scottsdale, AZ. I graduated from the University of Kansas in
May 2026 with a B.S. in Computer Science. At KU I was an
Undergraduate Research Assistant developing autonomous racing
systems, served as Vice President of the KU F1Tenth Club, and
worked as an I.T. Technician for the City of Lawrence. Take a look
around and feel free to reach out!

my skills:
Python
Developed Python control scripts for autonomous robots at the Computer Systems Lab at KU.
Robot Operating System
Developed TLN Variants, a ROS2 package for creating and testing machine learning models to a RoboRacer platform.
C++
I implemented a modified end-to-end CNN for F1Tenth autonomous racing, used to represent KU at IROS 2024 (3rd place) and ICRA 2026 (4th place).
I.T
As a technician at the City of Lawrence, I closed 260+ help desk tickets and installed technology upgrades for an 800+ employee base.
Machine Learning
I researched edge ML for autonomous systems under Prof. Heechul Yun, training CNNs in PyTorch/TensorFlow and deploying them via TFLite on constrained hardware for RoboRacer competitions.
C
I used C for embedded systems work, including a voice-controlled car that classifies commands via a neural network.
