About Me

Hi there, I'm Jeffrey Vandever, a software engineer with a passion for developing innovative solutions to complex problems. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a double cognate in Software Engineering and Web & Mobile Programming at Liberty University. I have experience in full-stack development, project management, working with a client, AI Chatbot development, and IT. I am always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow as a software engineer.


Outside of software engineering, I am involved with Liberty's Basketball Spirit Band and Liberty's Marching Band on Alto Sax! My participation in these ensembles has allowed me to travel to various locations and perform during various college football bowl games as well as national basketball championships!


This summer I am excited to be interning at Genworth for their IT Development Internship! I am looking forward to learning more about the IT and software development industry and gaining valuable experience in the field.
