Hi, my name is
Evan Jordan.
I
I'm a Computer Science major at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I've completed two internships at Google, most recently developing the top user-requested "Find In Note" feature for Google Keep, impacting millions of users. Currently, I'm a Technical Lead at Hack4Impact UIUC, where I architect accessible software solutions for non-profit organizations to advance educational equity and social good.
About Me
I'm a Computer Science major at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, graduating in May 2027.
I've completed two impactful internships at Google, working on features that reach millions of users daily. Most recently, I drove the development of "Find In Note," the top user-requested feature for Google Keep Android, impacting millions of user sessions. Previously, I developed an image annotation feature for Google Drive Android, affecting roughly 55 million daily sessions. I've also architected full-stack solutions at FuelGo, building a web platform that revolutionizes cargo ship fuel purchases.
Currently, I serve as Technical Lead at Hack4Impact UIUC, where I partner with non-profits to deliver software for social good. I'm leading the development of a secure case management platform for Operation Safe Escape, a nonprofit supporting over 750 domestic violence survivors annually, featuring dynamic form building, automated security logging, and secure communication systems. Previously, I successfully delivered the Code Your Dreams Learning Management System, providing accessible coding education for underprivileged youth with gamified learning and interactive code editors. Through these experiences, I've built expertise in Android development, full-stack web engineering, and creating secure, accessible solutions that drive real social impact.
