About Me

I've spent the last decade in the world of Healthcare IT, gaining a wealth of consulting knowledge and a passion for delivering top-notch results. But now, it's time for a new adventure in the fast-paced world of software development. With my problem-solving skills and penchant for innovation, I'm ready to hit the ground running and apply my creative thinking skills on the front lines of this ever-evolving industry. My experience collaborating with clients and guiding them through best practices will be a real asset in my future role.

Hi, my name is Jacob. I graduated from a coding bootcamp in April, 2023 as a full-stack web developer. I have an appreciation for both front and backend technologies, frameworks, and best practices, and strive to make a postive impact on humanity through technology.

Would love to hear about any potential job opportunites, project ideas, tech community events, or your favorite hiking spot. I look forward to connecting!
