Engineering Understanding.

“Understanding the system matters more than memorizing the solution.”

I'm Jack Tanner, a computer science student at Rose-Hulman, driven less by lectures and more by curiosity. My education doesn't stop at the syllabus—it accelerates when something breaks, behaves unexpectedly, or begs to be understood at a deeper level.

I believe the best engineers are self-taught long before they're credentialed. I learn by building, deconstructing, and iterating—treating every system as both a tool and a puzzle. Code, to me, is not just implementation; it's a way to reason about complexity, efficiency, and truth.
