Welcome to my site!

Hi there! I'm Dr. Jake, a data scientist, software developer, and entrepreneur.

I started my company (DevelopYours) in order to help small businesses develop the custom software tools and solutions for their specific problems.

I am also passionate about helping people find the job in which they are happiest and allows them to flourish most.

About Me

Recently read Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy. I also strongly recommend his other series: The Stormlight Archive. In a previous life, I was a chemist and a particle physicist. Now, I just want to make the world a better place however I can. The mountains are my happy place.
