Reese Hannam

Application Developer at Velocity Technologies  ·  B.S. Computer Science, BGSU '26

Software developer working on AI automation, e-commerce, and full-stack web applications. I build production workflows, high-traffic storefronts, and self-hosted apps using Python, JavaScript, Docker, and PostgreSQL.

01

Projects

A mix of client work, personal builds, and hardware projects. Each one started with a real problem worth solving.

HARDWARE

Golf Sim Controller

Built a floor-mounted controller for a golf simulator using an ESP32 microcontroller wired to arcade buttons that emulate keyboard inputs. Designed and 3D printed a custom housing to hold everything together cleanly.

WEB APP

Name That Tune

Real-time multiplayer music guessing game with a TV host screen and simultaneous player devices. Integrated the Spotify API with OAuth 2.0, containerized with Docker, and deployed on a self-hosted Linux server behind Cloudflare Tunnel for DDoS mitigation.

HARDWARE

GPS Speedometer

Real-time digital speedometer built with an ESP32, a NEO-6M GPS module, and a color TFT display. Shows current speed on a smooth animated circular gauge with satellite tracking, a 5Hz GPS rate configured automatically at boot, and frame-rate independent speed smoothing.

MOBILE

Gameday iOS App Prototype

Designed and built a native iOS prototype in Xcode using user-centered design principles to streamline live event experiences: parking, seating, concessions, and real-time updates.

About & Education

A little more context on who I am and where I'm coming from.

Who I Am

I'm a software developer at Velocity Technologies and a 2026 Computer Science graduate of Bowling Green State University, where I also earned a minor in General Business. I love the intersection of software and real-world problems: automating a workflow that saves a team hours each week, improving a storefront that customers actually use, or building a game that brings people together.

Outside of software, I spent my college years as a team captain in intramural basketball and volleyball, which sharpened my communication, leadership, and ability to perform under pressure just as much as any classroom did.
