Overview

Hi, I’m Jordy, an Acoustical Engineer and Audio Research Engineer originally from the UK. I am currently based in Melbourne, Australia where I am working as a Senior Software Developer for daisee. For more information on my development skillset please see my resume.

Currently at daisee I am working actively with the AWS Cloud Infrastructure technologies in order to better streamline and standardize the codebase used.

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 you’d 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. I’m 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.

In my free time in Melbourne, I volunteer with various different community and charitable organizations.

• Reaching out in the Inner West: Volunteer weekly supplying food, bedding, clothing etc to ~500+ in need individuals.
• Music in Exile: Volunteer at various events for a not for profit record label. Working with artists from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
  • Music in Exile is a not-for-profit record label and artist services organisation aimed at increasing access to resources and building professional networks for artists from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds working in the music industry.
  • Artists retain full ownership. More about Music in Exile can be found on their website
• Welcome Merchant: Volunteer at food pop-ups and events to help to champion and support businesses from those in under-represented and marginalized communities.
  • Welcome Merchant’s mission is: to champion the voices of entrepreneurs & artists who identify as a refugee or as a person seeking asylum in Australia.
• Mimi Hearing Technologies: leading member of the Diversity and Inclusion committee.
  • Through this role I have also aimed to make Mimi have a more pro-active stance on social issues that surround our industry.

Having grown up in many different countries as a child (🇩🇪🇳🇱🇦🇺🇴🇲🇬🇧). 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.
