Build

The best technology is so intuitive it quietly disappears into the message, the service, or the experience itself. What’s left is a person who feels understood, a problem that’s been solved, and an experience they’ll remember and a resource they will return to.

Transform everyday financial data into clear, personalized insights that help users better understand their money and feel more confident moving forward.

An at-a-glance financial summary that can track numerous projects and transforms everyday  transactions  on the fly into meaningful insights, helping users understand where their money is going and then what to do about their stress if it is chronic.

Money affects far more than a bank account—it affects our stress, relationships, confidence, and sense of possibility. I wanted to build something that felt less like financial software and more like a supportive guide. Real Money Magic combines budgeting, expense and stress tracking into one experience that helps people better understand where they are today—and feel hopeful about where they’re headed next. With surprising support built in (TBA soon).

  • Turned an idea into a full-stack application using Python, Strawberry GraphQL, TypeScript, React, and Tailwind CSS, bringing together thoughtful design and modern development.
  • Designed an intuitive experience that transforms budgeting, expense tracking, and financial reflection into something approachable instead of overwhelming.
  • Explored how software, UX, and AI can work together to help people make better financial decisions with greater confidence and less stress.

Software Engineering Projects

jennifer h thompson software engineering portfolio

A curated archive of my software engineering bootcamp projects, including full-stack applications, APIs, databases, authentication, and responsive frontend work.

When I decided to become a software engineer, I wasn’t chasing technology for its own sake — I was chasing possibility. I wanted the ability to take ideas that could genuinely help people and build them myself. This archive documents the projects where I built that foundation through full-stack development, APIs, databases, authentication, and responsive interfaces.

  • Built full-stack and frontend applications using React, TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, REST APIs, and authentication.
  • Created responsive, user-focused applications that demonstrate practical experience with modern development workflows.
  • Learned how to turn ideas, requirements, and user needs into working digital tools.
