About

I'm Jonathan Duran-Ortiz, a CS student at NC State University. I developed websites and automation tools for local businesses at RDU Technology, to leading the iOS development team at NCSU App Club, to co-founding Voice First, deploying AI voice agents for small businesses. When I'm not coding, you'll find me bodybuilding, cheffing it up, building small form factor PCs, motocross racing, watching anime, or reading manga.
