I like building cool things
and making the world a little nicer.

My name is Jake, and I like making neat web pages and apps, helping my community and planet, and exploring new places.

I started my web development career with an elective course, and have since cultivated my skills through IT studies, professional networking, and self-teaching with online resources. When I'm not working on coding, I enjoy traveling and volunteering for causes including environmental protection, poverty alleviation, and social justice.
