Keith Jackson
Full-Stack Developer | Support Engineer track - React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, REST APIs
I build and ship real web apps - from client business sites to a production fintech-style app - and I troubleshoot like someone who's spent years solving problems live, under pressure.
Currently: Full-stack intern @ ELEV8TEK Labs, running KiteForge, building an animated D&D series.
Featured Work
Real, deployed, professional - the two places I spend most of my working hours.
ELEV8TEK Labs - Tipper (BYOB Budgeting App)
Tipper is a personal finance / envelope-budgeting web app. I work across the stack - UI, data validation, and core financial logic.
- Shipped 15+ merged PRs spanning UI, data validation, and core financial logic.
- Implemented unspent-balance safeguards in fund-transfer/reallocation logic and hardened numeric input handling on budget fields.
- Built data visualization features with Recharts, including an expense-breakdown pie chart and audit/info-graph legends.
- Refactored tax-rate handling into a single shared constants file, replacing scattered hardcoded values project-wide.
KiteForge - Web Design & Digital Marketing
I design, build, and deploy client websites end-to-end - from requirements through launch and ongoing support - and run monthly paid social ad contracts for two bar clients, with creative consistently rated “Highly Creative” by Meta's ad delivery system. I'm also the sole technical point of contact for every client: fielding requests, debugging live-site issues, and translating technical changes into plain language.

What's harder to teach
- Client communication - translating technical changes into plain language
- Troubleshooting live issues under pressure, solo or on a team
- Agile collaboration with distributed teams (Asana, Trello)
- Mentoring - 1:1 debugging help and Git/Agile onboarding for junior devs
Outside of code, I also produce...
A few personal videos and a music picker - my creative side, fully optional.
