Resilient software and clear data, built to ship.
I'm Jay Jordan — a lead software engineer in Florence, SC, and founder of Innovation Nexus. For 15+ years I've built secure, scalable systems in .NET, React, and SQL Server, and I help local governments and growing teams turn their data into decisions.
Recent work
Selected impact across platform engineering, secure systems, and data consulting.
Led development of core platform components in ASP.NET Core and Vue.js, shipped secure REST APIs integrating Stripe and Twilio, and drove adoption of CI/CD and code-quality standards.
Cut deployment times 40% by streamlining build and containerization.
At Booz Allen Hamilton, built secure full-stack solutions with Java, Spring Boot, and Angular, plus data-driven dashboards for intelligence and logistics teams — with TDD and Agile in high-security environments.
3+ years delivering reliable software under strict security requirements.
Through Innovation Nexus and the City of Florence, I build SQL Server / SSRS reporting and dashboards and modernize legacy systems so government teams can act on their data.
Reporting and dashboards that turn municipal data into decisions.
I pair pragmatic architecture with hands-on delivery — designing systems that are secure and maintainable, then shipping them with tests, CI/CD, and observability so teams can move fast without breaking things.
- Modernize legacy .NET and JavaScript systems without halting delivery.
- Stand up CI/CD, code review, and containerization that teams actually keep using.
- Translate messy data into clear SQL Server reporting and dashboards.
I take on software engineering leadership, full-stack development, and municipal data and reporting consulting through Innovation Nexus.
