I'm Jerry
And I Make Stuff
A Bit About Me
Hello! My name is Jerry and I like to build stuff. I strive to develop elegant solutions to complex issues and am interested in projects that merge technology and business. As Co-Founder and CEO of Hack The Pandemic, I collaborated with over 300 volunteers to organize decentralized production of PPE, resulting in the production of more than 20,000 Face Shields for hospitals in need. I am currently a freshman studying Engineering and Management at Clarkson University. In addition to my studies, I am actively involved in the Ignite program, serving as an Ignite Presidential Fellow and Ice Team Lead for the 2022 president's challenge. I also dedicate my time to volunteering for CUEMS, a student-run ambulance service on campus. This website highlights my various projects and events I have worked on throughout the years.
