Jackson Johannessen
Computer Science student at University of Florida building scalable systems, full-stack applications, and data-driven solutions.
Projects
Music Recommendation Engine
Full-Stack Development
Web app that takes a song name and returns the 7 most similar songs from a 114,000-song dataset, using a trie for search and a similarity algorithm for ranking.
Asteroid Threat Detection
Machine Learning, Data Science
A machine learning model that classifies near-Earth objects (NEOs) as hazardous or non-hazardous based on features like size, orbit, and velocity. Results are visualized in graphs to highlight which attributes most influence hazard status.
Football Performance Predictor
Machine Learning, Data Organization
COMING SOON: A machine learning model that predicts football player performance using historical data, player statistics, and game conditions to provide insights for team management and strategy.

About
I'm a Computer Science student at University of Florida with a passion for building efficient, scalable systems and creating polished user experiences. My interests span full-stack web development, embedded systems, machine learning, and data optimization.
Since my freshman year, I've focused on developing practical skills across the entire technology stack. My work centers around solving real-world problems through code—whether that's compressing sensor data for aerospace applications, building recommendation engines, or automating healthcare workflows.
Currently, I'm working as a Data Analyst at Naples Comprehensive Health, where I build systems that reduce administrative burden and drive data-informed decisions. I'm also developing the payload software for UF's competitive rocket in the NASA Student Launch Initiative.
I believe the best software is built at the intersection of technical excellence and practical impact. I'm always exploring new technologies, contributing to meaningful projects, and looking for opportunities to grow.
