Data science & software

Jaron Wilson

Data Science student at Liberty University and a developer who ships production systems for nonprofits and small businesses. This is the professional side of things; the code itself lives at jaronwilson.dev.

About

I'm studying Data Science at Liberty University with a minor in Mathematics, after dual-enrollment coursework in computer science and math at Northern Virginia Community College. Alongside school I build and run real software: full backend systems, payment portals, data pipelines, and the tooling around them, most of it on Cloudflare's platform.

My work history is deliberately varied. I've standardized donor records as a data analyst for a nonprofit, refereed competitive soccer for years, and currently work in retail operations. Different kinds of pressure, same instinct: notice what's broken and fix it properly.
