Greetings, I’m Jackson Schuler!

I am currently a Programmer Analyst at the University of Saskatchewan Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative where I've had the opportunity to work for since May of 2021.
It's always been a primary goal of mine to write sensible, scalable software that serves a tangible purpose.
Outside of my job I enjoy learning and playing my guitar, cycling in the summer when the weather permits. As well, I love playing video games and having board game nights with my friends!
