Hi, I’m Jake. I’m a 27 year-old Swift/iOS developer & UI/UX designer living and working in Sacramento, CA.
Designing honest, clean, effortless solutions.
About
As both a designer and software developer, I know I’m at a uniquely potent intersection in the field of technology. I will never cease to be amazed at the breadth of problems that software and design can create solutions for, ever iterating to better deal with today’s problems. I am competent in full-stack Swift development, from design to prototype to app to back-end services. I’m always working to grow my breadth and depth of knowledge as a developer, and I thoroughly enjoy doing so. Most of my work has been done in Swift for iOS and Linux, and I’m currently working on a project of mine, Follk, for which I’ve designed + developed an iOS app and its backend. In everything I’ve been working on lately, I’ve used the declarative framework SwiftUI.
My firm belief in the power of the aesthetic of a product propels and delights me to grow as a designer. Both as systematic, structured procedures as well as wild, creative endeavors, design continues to intrigue me as it redefines and informs how I view the world.
I’m passionate about contributing to positive forces in the world, whether that be for the progress of environmental, social, racial, or economic justice – or other good stuff! I absorb information and adapt quickly, yet I know there is still a lot I’ve yet to learn, and I’m eager to learn and grow more.
I highly value work cultures that esteem every member and give voice to every employee, ensuring everyone is heard and respected while capitalizing on solid communication and delegation, valuing honesty and integrity rigorously.

On The Side
I also adore synthesizers, pianos, guitars, drums, and musical instruments in general. I’ve released some ambient tracks as me and the earth if you want to check it out. I also really like specialty coffee, plants, and video games.
