Jon has a dual degree in civil engineering and architecture. As an architecture student, his team received a design award of honor by the 2024 SARA NY Design Awards. He also worked as a research assistant to create multiple virtual reality programs using Unity and C# that allows freshman through seniors across two colleges in the university to learn about structural analysis from basic elements to complicate visual ideas such as stress and strain in concrete sections. At FSE, he hopes he can use this knowledge of coding and abstract thinking to provide tools that streamline structural analysis.
