Hello and welcome to my personal development sandbox! I'm Jesse Piccione, and this site is my playground for experimenting with new technologies and features. Here, you'll find a collection of applications and prototypes that I'm currently working on or testing out. Feel free to explore and interact with the various tools and projects available. Keep in mind that things might change frequently as I tweak and update the site with new ideas. If you have any questions or suggestions, or if you're interested in collaborating, don't hesitate to get in touch. I always enjoy connecting with fellow developers and enthusiasts. Thanks for stopping by, and happy exploring Best regards, Jesse.
I'm thrilled to share Chirp, a bird song prediction application designed to identify bird species from audio clips. Chirp analyzes sounds and makes plausible predictions about the bird songs present in any given recording. As part of a collaborative team of five students and a group of professors from Oregon State University's SoundBendor Lab, I contributed to Chirp in several ways: 1. UI/UX Design, Development, and Maintenance: I worked on creating an engaging and accessible interface to enhance user interaction with the app. 2. Database Design, Implementation, and Maintenance: I was responsible for setting up and managing the database that supports Chirp's functionality and stores valuable data for analysis. Thank you for Reading, and happy birding! Warm Regards, Jesse.
I never expected to dive deeply into software engineering, in-fact, before high school I was set on exploring a career unrelated to computers. Everything changed during my junior year when I enrolled into a regular computer programming course. At this time, I figured I would learn the basics of coding, earn a good grade and leave it at that. However, within a month of experimenting with Java, debugging small programs, and building simple applications, something had clicked. It turned out the I had an innate knack for solving programming challenges, and I found the process of writing and refining code from point A to point B genuinely thrilling.
About a month into the course, my teacher noticed the enthusiasm and efficiency with which I tackled each project. He ended up recommending that I switch into the more advanced AP Computer Science course, convinced I could earn a perfect score. Their confidence in my abilities was inspiring. I took to the challenge, poured myself into studying and writing code, and ultimately achieved a perfect score. But, the most important moment came when my teacher asked me a life-changing question:
&qout;What do you want to do for the rest of your life?&qout;
Unsure of my future plans, I mentioned becoming an actuary. It seemed like the logical choice given my strong math background, but my teacher, Mr. Gattuso, saw a different path. He pointed out that I was not just only good at math; I thrived on dissecting complex problems, writing real-time solutions, and debugging intricate pieces of code. In their words, I genuinely lit up when discussing projects or working through logical puzzles. It was more than a simple hobby or school assignment-- I was truly passionate about every aspect of programming and software development. That moment of encouragement proved to be the turning point that would decide my career path. My teacher healped me see that excitement, creativity, and problem-solving integral to software engineering was exactly what I needed in a future career.
Without that conversation-- without someone believing in my ability to excel in tech-- I might have never pursued this field. Instead, I dove headfirst into building applications, learning new programming languages, and exploring every single new opportunity to grow as developer.
I owe a debt of gratitude to my teacher, who saw something in me that I hadn't yet recognized in myself. Their guidance and support not only shaped my educational path but also helped me discover a lifelong passion I have for coding. Thank you, Gat, for sparking the drive the drive that led me to become a software engineer, and for steering me towards a world where constant innovation, collaboration, and learning keep me excited every single day.
