Hey.

I’m a Staff Software Engineer with over a decade of experience building scalable, user-focused software. I’ve led projects across early-stage startups and established platforms — from shipping MVPs to overhauling complex systems. I care deeply about clarity, quality, and momentum, and I bring that mindset to every app I build and every team I support.

Now, I'm channeling that experience into launching my own products and helping founders make smarter technical decisions without slowing down.

“As a new addition to the team, Jake has been willing to take time to look over things I've done to make sure they fit in with how we do things here...He's almost on a daily basis gone the extra mile in helping me getting this and that to the finish line. It's made my introduction to the company a lot easier knowing there's co-workers that are willing to give their own time to help the larger team.”

“...thanks again for everything you’ve done for us. All the work you knocked out so quickly, all the knowledge you dropped on us, Ollie and especially PlayWright when you knew you were on your way out. You were a huge asset and did more for the company than some people did in twice the amount of time. You will be missed. Best of luck to you in all your future endeavors!”
