Overview
Hi, Iβm Jordy, an Acoustical Engineer and Audio Research Engineer originally from the UK. I am currently based in Melbourne, Australia where I am working as an Audio Engineer and Software Developer for daisee
. For more information on my development skillset please see my resume.
Previously, I worked part-time as an academic assistant at CoderAcademy on their WebDev Bootcamp course. It was an experience to further my teaching knowledge by inspiring a new generation of developers.
My main freelance client has been Mimi Hearing Technologies, a company where I previously worked full-time. They are a hearing health based startup in Berlin, DE. Whilst living in Berlin and working for Mimi I undertook volunteer work as a teacher of Introduction to Python
program at ReDI school (see more below).
I also have a passion for SCUBA diving, and am a PADI Open Water SCUBA Instructor (OWSI)
. I intend to work professionally in both the technology and diving industries, with a higher weighting towards the technology industry. I have a positive experience of this in the past.
If youβd like to get in touch feel free to contact me on any of the methods given here. I am always open to new opportunities and experiences. Iβm more than happy to have a chat about how my skillset can fit in with your project, company or team.
What drives me?
I have a passion for hearing/digital health, as well as professional audio, my main aim is to try and use my formal knowledge of acoustics, audio and engineering in a way that can benefit people.
This is further showcased by my volunteer work with Action on Hearing Loss and my role as Charity Officer
for the Southampton University Sign Language Society whilst at University.
I am also passionate about many social issues. Whilst working at Mimi Hearing Technologies I was a lead member of the Diversity and Inclusion
committee. Through this role I have also aimed to make our company have a more pro-active stance on social issues that surround our industry.
Having grown up in many different countries as a child (π©πͺπ³π±π¦πΊπ΄π²π¬π§). I have developed a love for travel. Whether it be for a vacation or to relocate and live somewhere new, I am excited by the prospect of learning more about new cultures.
I loved volunteering teaching on the Intro to Python course at ReDI school (of design interaction). This is a not-for-profit digital school whose mission is to use technology to break down barriers and connect the leaders of tomorrow. Primarily its courses are focused towards individuals who are new to the country they reside in. Typically, a lot of the students are refugees and are from non-traditional educational backgrounds. Teaching programs with ReDI has been an amazingly rewarding process and I have definitely learned a lot along the way.
