Hi, I'm Jake
I'm a software engineer!
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.
LEARN
Software engineering is a constantly evolving career field, and I've prided myself in always learning new ways to build and ship great software.
