My name is Davis Keene. Nice to meet you!
I'm a software developer from the Greater Boston Area. For the last three years, I was studying Computer Science and Statistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During my time in college, I co-founded an organization to create open source software for students, ran a 501(c)(3) non-profit to support student entrepreneurs, was the Head Course Assistant for the largest undergraduate CS course in the Midwest, and graduated despite spending most of my college experience online!
I'm passionate about creating software that enables teams and organizations to perform. For the last few years, I've been working at Jellyfish, a Boston based startup creating the leading engineering management platform. I joined in May 2020 as the company's first intern, then signed full-time toward the end of July 2021. Since starting at Jellyfish, we've increased the company size by 10x, raised $100M in funding, and onboarded hundreds of new customers. Work has taught me almost everything I know about complex systems design, backend and frontend frameworks, how to write good software, and how to be a good teammate. I'd love to show you what I'm capable of!
If you've never met me, here are some things you should know:
- I used to be a yo-yo competitor (I was even on TV once!) and used to run a yo-yo company for a number of years.
- I really enjoy oat milk latte's and matcha tea. Especially when made by Brewlab.
- My favorite TV shows include Mr. Robot and Bojack Horseman.
- My favorite artists include Two Door Cinema Club, Porter Robinson, and Tobi Lou.
