Hi, I'm Jake

About

My career has been about tackling the hardest technical challenges and scaling teams to meet them. In my current role, I began by turning a legacy mobile application into a modular, testable e-commerce and loyalty platform that empowers 15+ feature teams, expanding the business while contributing to the overall platform direction. At Ford, I launched apps in 26 countries, developed autonomous vehicle features, and automated pipelines that became enterprise standards.

I'm passionate about bridging architecture, developer productivity, and business impact and mentoring engineers into well rounded technical leaders.

When I'm not coding or documenting lessons learned, you'll find me with my family in Grand Rapids, fishing local rivers, or experimenting with home automation.
