Jena R. Hanes | Software Engineer

Specializing in autonomous robotics, ubiquitous computing, and embedded systems.

I have a unique combination of creative thinking and analytical skill that I put to work when solving computational problems. As a result of my professional experience, I work well both as a leader and a team member, and I have strong written and verbal communication skills. I'm easy-going and fun, but also efficient and super-productive; I'm a very high-achiever with a positive attitude. I'm particularly excited and passionate about IoT, ubiquitous computing, and autonomous robots.

When I was 12 years old, my mom bought an Apple II and I wrote my first program in BASIC. After a lot of trial and error, I finally succeeded in making a ball bounce across the screen. Since then, I have been able to experience the same excitement when building websites, databases, and writing programs with Java, C, C++, and even Scheme!
Aside from creating websites and programming, I love animals and traveling. I'm particularly drawn to tropical climates, probably because I hate being cold. In my free time, you might find me engaged in a DIY project, creating zombies with crochet, or crafting in my kitchen.
