I’m Jonathan Chin, a software engineer and photographer, based in New York, where I have lived my entire life.

I am a self-taught software engineer, with a BA in Communications and Media Studies. As a software engineer, I am interested in solving problems that will benefit others and the planet. I mostly dabble in the usual frontend technologies, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. More recently I’ve been using TypeScript on a daily basis.

As of late August 2024, I am in search for a new position.

As a photographer, I am interested in preserving the mundane oddities of the everyday through my photos, mostly of New York City. I am motivated to document New York as-is, seen from the lens of a native New Yorker, with candidness and empathy. I draw inspiration from the likes of Jeff Mermelstein, Mary Ellen Mark, and Eugene Richards.

I can be reached at jonathankchin [at] gmail [dot] com

I also co-manage a music blog called Cereal + Sounds.

This site was quickly scaffolded with the help of blot.im - which I am in no way affiliated with, just a happy user.
