My name is Jeff Rossi and my background is in writing code, in various languages. In my early career from ’98 to ’09 I worked with PHP and MySQL making interactive websites for clients as part of my solo web development company Data Driven Design. During this time, I was an active member in local Chamber of Commerce. Through the Chamber network I transitioned to a position at Asset Motion and focused on Ruby on Rails to expand and maintain the GPS tracking application.

Through Numerex, the company that hosted and produced the base application that I started with, I was connected with InTouch GPS, with whom I worked for a decade. About seven years into my tenure at In Touch the company merged with GPS Trackit who produced another similar GPS tracking application. I switched to one of the teams at GPS Trackit and started to work on the admin portion of the next generation application. This application was written in NodeJS and hosted in Amazon Web Services. My team was in California, so I offset my shift to better collaborate with the team in Pacific Standard Time. When Covid 19 arrived it hit the trucking industry hard, which was our main clientele. As a result, I was downsized in April of 2020.

During the pandemic I determined the best course of action was to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. I received my degree in August of 2022 from Daytona State College. The academic environment has prepared me for the next adventure in my career path.

This website is what is commonly called a full stack application. This indicates that the site is composed of two parts, a client user interface that presents the information, and a server or API that retrieves the information from a database. While there may not be enough information to warrant such construction methods the point is to display my capability to do so.

There are two commonly used API technologies, REST (REpresentational State Transfer) and GraphQL. GraphQL is used for the various items throughout the site such as schools, jobs, and references.

There are four UI applications using the popular frameworks of Angular, React, Vue, and Svelte. Links to the other applications are available on the Links page. This particular site was contructed using Next_js The source code for any of my applications is available upon request.
