Jessica Compton

I am a SDSU graduate in Computer Science was recently employed in our company, StarFire International.

I've dabbled in everything from code to chemistry to electronics. When I am not fixing computers, programming playing games, reading about the latest tech or world events, I am helping out with my partner and designing and creating amazing stuff. If you like the website, then you will love me.

I have done commissioned work for companies and institutions which range from graphic design to web programming to writing databases. The first commission was from Tri-State Shooting Park, and it was the one I'm proud of the most.

Being who I am requires wearing many hats. Sometimes it's the hat of an IT professional wiring networks together and ensuring they run smoothly. Sometimes I don the leader's cap completing projects for clients and always in communication during the process. The projects themselves always require designing, programming and implementation of plugins and libraries. This often requires me to become graphic designer, web designer and programmer.
