By Trade, By Calling

About

I'm Jordan Wamser — a full-stack web developer based in Salina, Kansas, with over a decade of experience building software, leading projects, and solving hard problems. I've spent most of my career at the intersection of technology and people, believing that good work done faithfully matters.

In 2025, after a season of transition and surrender, I felt God's clear invitation to step into ministry. Like Peter lowering his nets at a word he didn't fully understand yet — I said yes. This space is where both worlds meet: the work I've built, and the calling I'm walking into.

A New Kind of Catch

For years I built things with code. Now I'm learning to build something different — faith communities, honest conversations, and lives pointed toward God. I preach, teach, and serve where I'm planted, trusting that obedience doesn't require having all the answers first.

Peter didn't know he'd walk on water, help birth the church, or preach at Pentecost. He just knew Jesus said "Follow me." That was enough.

Projects

Men's Encounter — Ministry Event Registration Platform

A full-featured event management web application built for a regional men's ministry weekend event. The platform includes dual registration pathways for attendees and servers, backed by a custom admin dashboard that handles registration management, scholarship tracking, leadership role assignments, and event check-in workflows — giving organizers a centralized tool to manage all aspects of a multi-location weekend retreat from registration through arrival.
