Welcome to my website! My name is Jerry Trosclair, and I am a software engineer from Thibodaux, LA.

I have always had a lifelong passion for technology, and have been using computers for as long as I can remember. I initially pursued an IT career, but my enjoyment of various side projects and classwork led me to pivot into software development in 2018.

I have built applications of all scales, from personal Discord bots, to mobile apps, to corporate-scale SaaS platforms. Still, I am always finding something new to work on to expand my knowledge to new limits.

Please browse around using the links on the sidebar to your left. If you'd like to contact me, I can be contacted via LinkedIn (link in sidebar).

My coding values:

1. Do it RIGHT the first time.
• Measure twice, cut once.
• Rework sucks, we need to use our resourses efficiently!
2. Constant iteration and delivery drives success.
• My personal fulfillment comes from watching my work be seen by the world.
• Scope creep is my worst enemy.
3. Provide instant scalability to optimize costs.
• I'm a huge fan of microservices and serverless computing.
• You never know when you will make it big. Always be prepared and don't miss out on the wave!
• See #1 for more info.

About this site:

I prefer Next.JS since it combines the simplicity of React and Javascript with the utility of running server-side code when appropriate. It's up to you to decide where the execution of the code lives.

Vercel is amazing (and free). I personally wouldn't use Vercel when deploying a production-scale application, but it's great (and again, free) for smaller scale sites like this.

Me! I plan on using this website to showcase my technical skills, as well as serve as a playground for smaller projects I plan on completing.
