This Website

2025 - Present

  I created this website in order to show off my accomplishments and provide a way to get to know me more than just my resume. This website is built on a base of Handlebars, Node, Express, and I hosted it using AWS EC2. Creating this website has been a fun experience for me to learn more about web development and gave me an excuse to learn to leverage cloud computing.

You can check out the GitHub for this project at github.com/jackmcau/jackmcau.com/! I included instructions to get it running on Docker and Node locally.

Minecraft Servers

2022, 2025 - Present

  Developing Minecraft servers has been somewhat of a passion for me over the years. Being able to create a game that people play and enjoy and continue to come back to is a very enjoyable experience. I find that creating these servers has made me much better at marketing and given me the skill to shift my lens to look at projects as more than a developer.
