Hi, I'm Jake
Engineer, Leader, Nerd
What do I do?
CODE
I've been engineering software for over a decade. Many of the blog posts here will be based around software development.
LEAD
I've spent years mentoring new software engineers on how to advance their careers, leading teams of engineers to complete projects, and I've spent about half of my career as a direct manager to others.
GEEK
I'm definitely a nerd. Console gaming and Magic the Gathering are other hobbies I have besides writing code.
