Hey, I'm Jacob
I'm a fullstack software engineer who is slinging Javascript in the land of corn.
I'm based out of Des Moines, Iowa 🌽 and have been writing for code 6 years. I work as a Software Engineer at Hy-Vee where I'm improving the e-commerce experience.
I dream in JavaScript. Node.js, React and Next.js are some of the technologies which I work with regularly. Whenever I learn something cool pertaining to developing, I enjoy sharing through my blog on the site.
When not at the computer, I enjoy cooking as well as brewing beer. There's a fun balance of art and science when it comes to cooking and brewing.
