# 👋 Hi, I'm Randy Jordan

Welcome to my 102% Chat-GPT generated profile! I paid extra 💰 for the emoji's and **no mistakes**.

## 💻 About Me

I’m passionate about both **web development** and **software development**, with a strong interest in how systems work from the ground up. I started with a passion for the web. Due to my curiousity of how the internet works, I was driven towards backend/software engineering. My favorite book is [Unix Networking Programming - W. Richard Stevens](https://archive.org/details/unixnetworkprogr0001stev_3edi). I believe chess is the best game to teach programming.   

- 🧠 I love **low-level programming** and system design
- ⚙️ My favorite language is **C**
- 🌐 **JavaScript** was my first programming language
- 🌍 The internet is my favorite invention—it's what first inspired me to start coding

## 🔧 What I Enjoy Building

I like creating things in both the digital and physical world:

- 🖨️ CAD modeling and 3D printing projects
- 🔥 Metal fabrication and welding projects
- 🧩 Microcontroller projects (Arduino, embedded systems, etc.)
- 🌐 Web applications and interactive experiences


I especially enjoy projects where software meets hardware. I hope to build my own CNC machine one day.

- ♟️ Chess
- 📊 Finance & markets
- 🏀 Sports
- 📚 Reading [Here is my goodreads account.](https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/62797237-randy-jordan)
