Hey, I'm Jacob šŸ‘‹

Backend-focused full-stack developer specializing in architecting scalable, data-driven systems. I design and deliver production-grade APIs, automation pipelines, and developer tooling that improve performance, reliability, and security.

I’m seeking opportunities where I can expand my impact on product architecture and infrastructure at scale.
