    I’m a software engineer that specializes at the place where systems programming, usability, and automation meet. You want something to run on different platforms? I'm your guy. You want it to come with clear, easy-to-understand documentation? I'm your guy. You want to turn a five-step deployment process into one step? I'm your guy.

    My most recent project that exemplifies these skills is [melonDS DS](https://github.com/JesseTG/melonds-ds), a wrapper around a Nintendo DS emulator that makes it easier to use than most other emulators.
