<h1>Overview</h1>
<p>Hello! My name is John Jerney and I’m a junior in high school. In the future, I want to be a computer science professor or researcher. In my free time, I enjoy programming, making music, and binging YouTube.</p>
<p><b>Mission Statement: </b>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.</p>
<br /><hr /><br />
<h1>STEM Activities</h1>
<p>I like to think of myself as rather involved in STEM, though I still have a long way to go :)</p>
<p>Hoping to do an internship this summer!</p>

<h2><img src="assets/img/frc1816-logo-512x512.png" title="FRC Robotics Team 1816" alt="FRC Robotics Team 1816 Logo" />Green Machine</h2>
<span class="link-bar"><a href="https://edinarobotics.com/" target="_blank">WEBSITE</a> | <a href="https://github.com/TheGreenMachine/" target="_blank">GITHUB</a></span>
<p>I’m computer systems programmer in a top #39 worldwide robotics team, The Green Machine! The team is part of the FIRST Robotics Competition organisation, and our team number is 1816.</p>
<p>Specifically, I’m working on autonomous systems for the robot for things like autopathing and aim, as well as the app we use for scouting other teams.</p>

<h2><img src="assets/img/unidentifiedstartup-logo-512x512.png" title="TBD" alt="TBD Logo" />Unnamed Startup</h2>
<p>I’m working with a friend of mine to create a startup tailored towards teaching kids about mechanical and software engineering through microcontrolled and self-assembled toys, similar to Mark Rober’s Hack Packs.</p>
<p>We’re just in the planning stage right now, but we hope to finish by spring of 2025.</p>

<h2><img src="assets/img/computer-logo-512x512.png" title="High School CS Club" alt="CS Club Icon" />High School CS Club</h2>
<p>Co-president of my school’s computer science club, where we teach computer science! We hope to participate in competitions and maybe, just <i>maybe</i>, write a research paper about AI by the end of the year.</p>
<p>While the club didn’t run last year, We’re finally back and running with about 15 members. Some of us are planning on participating in <a href="https://adventofcode.com/" target="_blank">Advent of Code</a>-- check out AoC if you’d like to try it for yourself!</p>

<h2><img src="assets/img/mnmathleague-logo-512x512.png" title="Math Team" alt="MNMathLeague Logo" />Math Team</h2>
<span class="link-bar"><a href="https://www.mnmathleague.org/" target="_blank">MATH LEAGUE</a></span>
<p>I am (admittedly) one of the lower-scoring members on my school’s math team, which competes statewide in the MN Math League.</p>
<p>The math team is one of my main focuses for this academic year: I’ve been steadily improving at doing high-level mathematics and hope to be able to be one of the ten representatives for my school by next year. Wish me luck!</p>

<h2><img src="assets/img/minecraft-logo-512x512.png" title="Minecraft Server Development" alt="Minecraft Logo" />Minecraft Server Dev</h2>
<p>Both a configurator and a programmer at several Minecraft servers, some of which garnering hundreds of players per month. I won’t say which ones so that I don’t get doxxed.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<h1>Misc</h1>
<p>I’m not just some programmer! I have other things I do in my free time.</p>
<div class="collapsed-section-wrapper">
<ul>
<li>
<h2>Orchestral Music</h2>
<p>I enjoy playing the contrabass, cello and piano, though I mainly play the contrabass. I’m assistant principal at both the <a href="https://mmea.org/events/all-state/" target="_blank">Minnesota All-State Orchestra</a> as well as <a href="https://gtcys.org/programs/orchestras/philharmonic" target="_blank">GTCYS Philharmonic</a>, and principal bassist in my school.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h2>Tutoring</h2>
<p>Starting this fall, I’m going to be tutoring middle schoolers that might need a little bit of a push to get through middle school.</p>
<p>One day, I hope to become a professor at a college, and these are my first steps into learning how to teach others.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<br /><hr /><br />
<h1>Awards/Certs</h1>
<p>Not too much to see here-- I’m not a huge math olympiad guy, nor a crazy-fast algorithm competitor, just an average guy who likes to program.</p>
<div class="collapsed-section-wrapper">
<ul>
<li>
<h2>CodeWithMosh Certs</h2>
<p>Went through a huge phase in my sophomore year where I absolutely grinded CodeWithMosh. He’s partially my inspiration for wanting to be a computer science educator.</p>
<p>I have completed the C++ Advanced, Java Advanced, JavaScript Advanced, and Python Advanced, and am working on SQL and Data Structures through Mosh’s amazing lectures.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h2>[In-progress] CS50 Cert</h2>
<p>I recently heard about how good the CS50 Intro to Programming course is, and decided to try it out a bit for myself. What I was not prepared for was what an <i>excellent</i> David Malan was. He is an extremely competent lecturer.</p>
<p>Though I initially decided to check out the course to figure out how Malan is such a good teacher, I’ve decided to stick around and take the entire course. Who knows, I’ll probably learn a thing or two along the way.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h2>AP Scholar w/ Honour</h2>
<p>Not much to say here, I suppose? Hoping to get a distinction in May.</p>
