Jim Crawford

I am a Computer Software Development student at Mountain Empire Community College with growing experience in C++, Python, web development, AWS, and personal AI projects. My goal is to continue building practical technical skills and create real-world projects that demonstrate my growth as an aspiring software developer.

Before transitioning into tech, I spent 20 years in physical security operations - managing access control, monitoring for threats, and documenting incidents. That background taught me discipline, attention to detail, and how to stay sharp under pressure. I bring those same qualities into everything I build.
