Hello! I'm Jacob, a passionate Software Engineer with 5 years of experience in web development and software design.

I thrive on transforming ideas into reality and bringing innovative solutions to challenges.

Education
I earned my Bachelor's in Computer Science with a focus on Networking & Cloud Computing and a minor in Mathematics from Salem State University. Along the way, I picked up solid teamwork and collaboration skills, especially through hands-on software engineering projects, and developed a real passion for building scalable, cloud-powered systems.
Experience

I’ve worked on agile projects, organizing sprints, running meetings, and creating documentation to communicate clearly with stakeholders.

Beyond development, I bring hands-on IT experience supporting multi-site school environments — managing networks, devices, and enterprise IT platforms to keep systems reliable and operations smooth.
