Hi, I'm Jake
I build calm, accessible interfaces, and write about React, GraphQL, and web accessibility.
I'm a Staff Software Engineer at Homeaglow, and a curious engineer with experience across the stack. I've worked on React and GraphQL-based products for much of my career, and I've also built editor extensions and CLI tools for a broad audience. Off the keyboard: home barista and amateur photographer.
Not looking for new roles right now.
