Hi, my name is
Evan Jordan.
I
I'm a Computer Science major at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I'm currently working as a Software Developer at Hack4Impact UIUC, where I build accessible software solutions for non-profit organizations. Previously, I've interned at Google and FuelGo, where I developed impactful features for millions of users.
About Me
I'm a Computer Science major at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, graduating in May 2027.
I recently completed two transformative internships. At Google, I enhanced the Google Drive Android app by developing an image annotation feature impacting over 55 million daily users. At FuelGo, I architected a full-stack web application that revolutionizes how cargo ships purchase fuel through automated contracts and integrated payments. Currently, I'm a Software Developer at Hack4Impact UIUC, where I'm building exciting, innovative, and impactful web and mobile applications for multiple non-profits.
Through these experiences, I've developed a strong foundation in both mobile and web development, with a particular focus on creating accessible, efficient, and impactful software solutions. I'm passionate about using technology to solve real-world problems and create positive change.
