Hi
My name’s Jacob. I’m a backend developer who dislikes too much obfuscation/magic. You’ll find me most at home when I’m working with Node or Go.
In my spare time, not having the best musical ear, I have come to appreciate learning lots of music theory as a way to enable me to write pretty sounding things on the guitar.
