About Jon Higger
Hey there! I'm Jon Higger, a passionate full-stack developer and tech enthusiast who's always up for a good coding challenge! When I'm not crafting code, you'll find me producing music or spending quality time with my family and furry child Doomslayer (He's a half corgi half blue heeler). I've got a pretty diverse tech stack under my belt - from React and TypeScript to Ruby, Elixir, and PHP - I love learning new technologies and solving complex problems!
I'm proud to be one of the founders of the Colorado Tech Community discord alongside some amazing folks, and I recently wrapped up my role as a Lead Instructor at a Software Bootcamp where I helped shape the next generation of developers . I'm also the founder of Remenu, a SAAS platform helping restaurants manage their menus efficiently . Currently on the hunt for new opportunities and excited about my upcoming move to Virginia! And if you're into Tanstack, let's geek out - (Just don't ask me about sports... unless you want to see a blank stare )
