Howdy 👋

I'm Jacob, a full-stack web developer (and occasional game designer and professional dungeon master) from the foothills of Appalachia (Lynchburg, VA). I build open-source, self-hostable applications for the independent web using the PERN stack (PostgreSQL, Express, React, Node.js) and Linux-based deployments. My background in collaborative storytelling and systems design shapes how I build software.

Currently...

  • Building a self-hostable blogging platform for The Good Web
  • Looking to connect with other developers
  • Enjoying light mode, despite the haters
  • Available for full-stack, frontend, or backend roles—let's talk

Icons for Postgres, Express, React, Node.js, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, Prisma, Vite, Jest, nginx, Git, Linux, and Docker
