Web developer · Database admin · Founder
Jordan Cordova
I build web apps people depend on: twelve years of ColdFusion and SQL Server for a large healthcare organization, and my own products on the side.
About
From healthcare to developer
I came to software from healthcare. I’m a U.S. Navy veteran, and after my service I earned a BS in Web Design & Interactive Media and started building training applications for government clients at Booz Allen Hamilton.
Since 2014 I’ve designed, built and maintained the ColdFusion and SQL Server applications a large healthcare organization runs on every day.
On my own time I run Primal Engine, a small software studio where I design and ship products end to end, from the data model to the checkout page.
