Hi, I'm Jordan

Jordan Romano

I build geospatial solutions using cloud infrastructure and spatial analysis.



Problem

Bus riders lacked easily accessible, real-time local transit information and local insights across multiple languages.

Solution

Built AskLynchburg - a bilingual assistant that gives real-time bus times, nearby restaurants, and answers questions using real-time GTFS data integration and natural language processing.

Tools

PythonFlaskPyTorchAWSREST APIs

Impact

Acquired by Ineo Systrans USA (EQUANS), scaled from local to international deployment

Problem

The Greater Lynchburg Transit Company (GLTC) was receiving an overwhelming number of similar recurring customer questions daily and needed to handle them efficiently.

Solution

Built AskGLTC - a chatbot that answers rider questions, sends SMS updates, responds via SMS, and integrates with GLTC's WordPress site.

Tools

PythonFlaskWordPressTwilioMySQLAWS

Impact

Served 300+ riders daily, recognized by the Virginia DRPT, won $5,000 APTA scholarship

Problem

Train AI agents to make autonomous decisions in complex sequential environments such as games or simulations.

Solution

Implemented advanced RL algorithms including PPO with custom neural network architectures and reward optimization.

Tools

PythonPyTorchOpenAI GymReinforcement LearningNeural Networks

Impact

Top 1% on Huggingface for the LunarLander-v2 model

Problem

Build and launch a successful niche blockchain project, handling everything from code to marketing.

Solution

1,000 pixel art NFTs built around a community of car enthusiasts, launched with vercel/React frontend on Solana's blockchain.

Tools

Solana BlockchainReact.jsMetaplex

Impact

1,000 units sold out in 30 minutes, generated $26,000 revenue, trading on major marketplaces.

About

I build geospatial solutions using GIS, Python, and AWS. At Ineo Systrans, I deployed CAD/AVL systems with real-time GPS tracking and map based dispatching for transit agencies. At Greater Lynchburg Transit Company, I developed AskGLTC, a transit information platform integrating GIS APIs and GTFS data. This was the predecessor of the AskLynchburg platform which was acquired and scaled internationally. I'm currently pursuing my M.S. in Geographic Information Systems with a focus on cartography and remote sensing.
