Welcome to my portfolio website! My name is Johnathan Uptegraph, and I'm a recent Miami University graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Emerging Technology and dual minors in Computer Science and Games & Simulations. As a Cybersecurity Grand Challenge Scholar recognized by the National Academy of Engineering and awarded for "Outstanding Excellence" by my University department, I'm on a mission to harness the power of technology to make a real difference in the world.

My passion for technology began in childhood and has only grown stronger over the years. As a Web Development and Robotics Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, I've explored my interest in robotics and gained hands-on experience in the field. I've also been privileged to participate in the Walt Disney World Invention & Innovation Program, where I developed prototypes, conducted customer research, and interviewed Imagineers. But the work that I'm most proud of is my contribution to the Dysphagia Research Project, where I developed innovative cups to assist patients with Spastic Dysphagia and other forms of Cerebral Palsy. These experiences have helped me hone my skills and refine my problem-solving approach.

When it comes to technical skills, I have a strong foundation in programming languages like Java, C, C#, C++, Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, SQL, and Swift. I've also gained extensive experience in game development using Unreal Engine 4, Unity, and scripting in C#. In addition, I have a deep understanding of CAD modeling software such as AutoDesk Fusion 360, Blender, Maya, PrusaSlicer, and the Adobe Creative Cloud Platform. This knowledge and expertise allow me to develop cutting-edge solutions that push the boundaries of what's possible.

However, technical skills are only part of the equation. I'm also a skilled communicator who thrives on teamwork and collaboration. I've been recognized multiple times for my "Outstanding Customer Service," and I'm always looking for ways to go above and beyond to make a positive impact. I'm dedicated to telling compelling narratives through my work, and I believe that the best solutions come from a combination of technical know-how and creative thinking.
