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.
Game Services Reliability Platform
A production-style distributed backend simulation for game services, focused on API design, queueing, container orchestration, health checks, observability, and DevSecOps controls. The project uses a matchmaking API, worker process, PostgreSQL, Redis, NGINX, Docker Compose, Prometheus/Grafana, and security scanning to practice operating a backend system end to end.
- Technologies: Python, FastAPI, Docker Compose, Redis, PostgreSQL, NGINX, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, GitHub Actions
- Focus: Backend systems, DevOps/DevSecOps, reliability engineering, observability
- Status: Complete

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

Multi-Language Code Evaluation Pipeline
A validator reliability initiative focused on stable multi-language compile/run evaluation, artifact consistency, and release-safe language availability.
- Technologies: JSON artifacts, Compile/Run adapters, Batch polling, Validation guardrails
- Focus: Reliability engineering, validator architecture, CI operational stability
- 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
- Status: Complete
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.
