~ I Build Web Apps ~

I'm Jake, and I love building beautifully complex software for the Web. I'm a fullstack developer with an affinity for JavaScript MV* and RAILS APIs.

This Yeoman Generator provides a nice set of defaults for ground-up web development, utilizing Coffeescript, Browserify, Gulp, and Jade templates.

My first true foray into webapps. GitHUD is a Backbone app that displays repository statistics and other data from Github's API.

Portfolio

Github

This portfolio is an implementation of the above Dyno Generator, and is a perfect example of over-engineering. Granted, the technologies used are better suited for large-scale webbapps, but I'll take any excuse to use beautiful technologies.

~ About ~

I love solving complex problems, creating beautiful user interfaces, and drinking good beer with good people. I'm an avid rock climber, a stickler for the details, and a generally goofy fella.
