Jonathan Maderic
Jonathan Maderic is the owner and lead engineer of JMad Creations, LLC. (JMC). Jonathan currently resides in Bethlehem, PA, where he has lived for much of his life. As an innovator, Jonathan has a restless curiosity for all things. Jonathan's curiosity started in elementary school, tinkering with home electronics, which evolved into his high school production, Cisco networking, and computer science endeavors and early projects. In college this shaped his path to computer engineering, and due to his own health struggles, he has a driven desire to help others navigate their own health issues.
In 2015, Jonathan needed to take a leave of absence from his undergraduate studies for medical reasons. Jonathan persevered through his health struggles to complete his degree and graduated from The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) with a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from the University Park campus (main campus). Jonathan is currently enrolled in Purdue's remote education program for a master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (MSECE) as well as a master's degree in Biomedical Engineering (MSBME). Jonathan also hopes to receive a graduate concentration in Microelectronics and Advanced Semiconductors and a graduate concentration in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning as part of his MSECE program, as well as a certificate in Regulatory Affairs and Regulatory Science for Medical Devices as part of his MSBME program.
By the grace of God, despite his continued health challenges, Jonathan continues to operate, manage, and propel JMC forward in its various technology developments, licensing and acquisition efforts, IP protections, and advancements in technology. Jonathan's skill sets are utilized in the day to day operations and innovations at JMC (see below for Jonathan's skills and credentials).
Jonathan has used his public speaking talents to speak at the HFMA (Healthcare Financial Management Association) conference in Philadelphia in early 2024, guest lectured at Penn State main campus in the computer engineering department, provided guest presentations on various engineering topics at the local high school (Liberty High School) as well as at the LVEDC (Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation) conference in 2024, spoke on chronic illness at the college level, and successfully obtained a first place win for JMC's melanin bias reducing pulse oximeter at the Start-Up Lehigh Valley live televised pitch competition in late 2023.
Additionally, two of Jonathan's many goals in his business and educational aspirations is to use and apply his chronic health experiences to help others with difficult health issues and to educate the aspiring STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) students of tomorrow.
