Steven Jettoo

Entrepreneur and Full-Stack Developer experienced in building Modern Web and Mobile Applications in Next.js, Typescript, React, and React Native.

For the past year, I’ve organized a framwork for building AI Tooling powered by Large Language Models.

My passion for Education Technology has been growing for the past 10 years. What started as a minor obsession during my Freshman Year at the University of Maryland has evolved into several companies dedicated to transforming the way we learn.

My initial goal was to transform my own learning, but this journey led me to discover a paradigm that could revolutionize our perception of learning using AI to drastically augment our experience.

I'm working on a detailed look into my journey. Meanwhile, you can check out my portfolio below. I am currently in the process of documenting and updating each project in detail, so stay tuned.
