Welcome.
I'm Jacob Weeks, a Fullstack developer.
I'm currently a Software Engineer with IBM, and have over 3 years of professional experience in full stack web development. I've had the opportunity to work for numerous clients, working with teams all across the world. From leading the development on bidding proposals and building fast-paced React prototypes, to supporting large-scale applications serving entire Federal agencies, I've gained extensive experience across various tech stacks.
I'm very passionate about programming, and love building side projects, or contributing to my favorite open source repos in my spare time. While most of my professional experience is within the JavaScript ecosystem, I love to explore new languages and technologies. I'm currently learning Rust. 🦀
