Overview
Hello! My name is John Jerney and I’m a senior in high school. In the future, I want to be a computer science professor or researcher. In my free time, I enjoy programming, playing music, and binging YouTube.
Mission Statement: I want explore the intersection of technology and education, inspiring individuals of all ages to innovate using tools that solve theoretical problems and drive real-world improvement.
STEM Activities
I like to think of myself as rather involved in STEM, though I still have a long way to go :)
Ion Concert Media
I work as am intern @ Ion Concert Media. It’s fun work involving working with ways to control lightning and cues, as well as things like AWS, server management, and much more.
Minecraft Server Dev
Both a configurator and a programmer at several Minecraft servers, some of which garnering hundreds of players per month.
I don’t do much of this anymore, since I’ve decided to focus a bit more on academics. I might come back at some point, but it doesn’t look like I’ll do so in the very near future.
Misc
I’m not just a programmer! I have other things I do in my free time.

Orchestral Music
I enjoy playing the contrabass, cello and piano, though I mainly play the contrabass. My favourite piece to play is the Koussevitzky Bass Concerto.
My favourite piece of all time? I really like listening to more niche Romantic-era composers. It would probably have to be either Medtner Piano Concerto no. 3 or Bortkiewicz Piano Concerto no. 3.

Mathnasium
I work as a tutor at Mathnasium, teaching 1st-9th graders all about math in their respective learning levels.
Meeting new people every day, finding out how they learn and trying to compound on that has been an immensely valuable experience.
