Services

I work with early-stage startups, small businesses, or even small teams within larger organizations. I help you with software projects, whether web or native. I’m an experienced problem solver with over a decade writing code across a wide range of companies.

Personal Touch

I’m not an agency. I don’t upsell dev work. I give clear, experienced advice — and help you focus on the right things at the right time.

Fore the Love

I love building software that relates to areas that I am passionate about. Sports have always been a huge part of my life, including I was the only Computer Science major of my college football team. Over time, my love of sports only deepens and expands. Ask me how

Depth of Experience

I've lead established companies in adding new technologies from the ground up. My broad experience allows me to offer the best solutions for your needs.

I'm currently building my own applications and offering my expertise and experience to others.

“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!”
