Jordan Schilling — Technologist, Software Builder, and Engineer
About Me
I’m an engineer who believes in learning by building. From CLI productivity tools to full-stack automation frameworks, the work documented here reflects a commitment to understanding systems from the ground up.
Projects & Development Logs
I build tools that solve real problems and document every step of the engineering process.
Python & Playwright Automation Framework
A production-quality end-to-end test automation framework built using Python, Playwright, and the Page Object Model (POM) pattern. I use this framework on a personal business website, running automated smoke tests for every pull request to validate the customer experience.
- Technologies: Python, Playwright, Page Object Model, OOP
- Focus: SDET capability, CI/CD ownership, DevOps-adjacent practices
- Status: Complete

FocusBuddy CLI
A terminal-based tool designed to help developers track deep-work sessions and application usage directly from the command line or an optional GUI.
- Technologies: Python, CLI, System APIs, Process monitoring
- Focus: CLI development, system-level engineering, developer productivity
- Status: Complete
jordanschilling.me — Portfolio & Dev Log
This portfolio site itself is an engineering project. Built using Jekyll and GitHub Pages with a customized Minimal theme, it documents my SDLC journey with detailed development logs, project pages, and technical writing.
- Technologies: Jekyll, GitHub Pages, HTML/CSS, Ruby
- Focus: Technical documentation, personal branding, SEO, web deployment

Gaming / PC Quality Playability Harness
A system-level quality engineering case study and tooling harness demonstrating reliability diagnostics, environment awareness, and reproducible execution. Designed to align with QA, SRE, and DevOps thinking.
- Technologies: Python, System diagnostics, Environment profiling
- Focus: Reliability engineering, system-level quality assurance, reproducibility
- Status: In progress
TypeScript & Playwright Automation Framework
A production-quality automation framework using TypeScript and Playwright for testing NotetasticOS, a prompt-coded application. Built to test basic functionality and validate product use.
- Technologies: TypeScript, Playwright, Node.js
- Focus: Cross-language SDET capability, product quality assurance
- Status: In progress
Technical Interests
I’m currently focused on these areas of technology and engineering:
- Test Automation & SDET Engineering — Building production-quality frameworks with Playwright, Python, and TypeScript
- CI/CD & DevOps — GitHub Actions pipelines, infrastructure automation, environment configuration
- CLI & System Tooling — Terminal-based developer productivity tools and process monitoring
- AI & Workflow Automation — Building N8N workflows (Congress.gov scraper, PDF generator, comparison operator), LLM integrations, and AI-assisted development
Writing
I write about engineering, automation, and the craft of building software. Read recent articles and technical insights.
