How I.T. BEGAN
My name is Jeremy Hunt. Some people on the web know me as Jay. Some of the projects that I've showcased under My Portfolio were completed under my former LLC which I was the Sole Proprietor of and was named Jay's Code & Design, LLC. During the beginning of the COVID pandemic, I launched a website called The Site Surgeon, but let it go because as I became more accustomed to marketing, I wanted people to know me by name and know my work.
Let's start from where my passion grew. In my younger years, I was obsessed with technology, especially video games. In 2011 (when I was 15-16 years young), I grew interested in programming and had my eyes set on a university I just had to go to: which was Full Sail University. When I was 17, I applied for a scholarship and created a video game. That project awarded me a $25,000 scholarship. At that university, I learned a lot about designing, Java, C++ Programming, and C# Programming.
As I went on in learning, I developed even more of a passion for Web Design and Web Development. I enjoyed creating visually stunning websites and realized the potential to use my talents for business purposes, not just for entertainment like before. Since I had a knack for programming already and a newfound interest in Web Development, I completed my schooling at Rasmussen College in which I received my Associates of Science in both Information Technology Management and Web Development. I also received my Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science.
After graduating from school, I worked in a fast-paced environment where I created four websites in three months, three of which were created in HTML, PHP, and CSS using Bootstrap. Soon after that contract ended, I developed and hosted my own website named The Site Surgeon (you can check out the old site using the link below).
Now, I work for a fast-paced marketing agency in Tampa Bay. I have a hybrid role of an Email Production Specialist and a Paid Media Specialist. I sometimes also help with front-end work. I still love to help businesses in my free time gain an advantage in the digital world, so please don't hesitate to reach out if I can help with anything. You can also check my schedule for availability.
Someone else owns the site now, but using the Wayback Machine, you can still see how it was:
