About Me

Developer. Educator. Builder of tools for equity in tech.

I'm Jeff Graham, a full-stack developer and lifelong educator based in the DC Metro area. I build cloud-native applications that solve real problems — especially for underrepresented communities. My work blends technical rigor with a passion for access, learning, and mentorship.

What I Do

  • Frontend – React, Next.js, Tailwind, accessibility-first design
  • Backend – Node.js, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, MongoDB
  • Cloud & DevOps – AWS, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Render, Vercel
  • AI & Education – OpenAI APIs, NLP tools, student-centered UX

Why I Build

I'm driven by impact. Tools like LearnLift weren’t just technical challenges — they’re opportunities to empower students, especially those often overlooked by traditional systems. My goal is to keep building meaningful software that lifts people up.

Currently Exploring

  • AI workflows for student learning
  • Advanced CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code (IaC)
  • ython backends with FastAPI and async performance
