About
Hi, I'm Jacob.
I'm a software engineer with a strong foundation in data, machine learning, and analytical problem-solving. My background in Geophysics shaped the way I think, giving me a deep appreciation for precision, pattern recognition, and approaching problems with both curiosity and discipline.
Over the years, I've worked across a wide range of technologies, building applications, data pipelines, and automation that help teams work smarter and more efficiently. While I specialize in software engineering today, I still have a genuine passion for data-driven systems and ML-powered solutions, and I enjoy applying that knowledge wherever it can create impact. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work with diverse programming languages, tools, and people, constantly learning and adapting with each new challenge. What I value most isn't just the technical problem-solving, but the collaboration that happens along the way, sharing insights, learning from others, and growing with the perspectives of the people I work with.
Outside of work, I spend a lot of time building personal projects,everything from developer tools and APIs to game-inspired applications. Exploring new ideas keeps me sharp, fuels my creativity, and helps me stay connected with the fast-moving tech landscape.
I approach every project with a mix of curiosity, diligence, and humility. I value collaboration, continuous learning, and writing software that feels thoughtful and purposeful. For me, success is not only about solving problems but contributing to something meaningful through the work I do.
