About Me

Overview

Hi, I'm Jacob or Jac. I'm currently a senior attending Evergreen High School and Warren Tech. I am also employed at Qdoba. I plan on majoring in Computer Science, but this page isn’t about my academics or work — it’s about the more personal side of me.

I like to consider myself a creative of sorts — not in the traditional artistic sense, but through a passion for exploring problems. I often find myself engrossed in finding solutions by understanding how systems work under the hood.

I explore this passion in a variety of ways, primarily through my love for technology. On the side, I also moonlight as a mechanic. Both of these pursuits help me develop and refine my problem-solving mindset.

Ultimately, this site serves both as a demonstration of my abilities and as a space to document my progress.

Right Now

Right now, I’m involved in NASA HUNCH, where I work on the Medical Inventory System project. The program has pushed me to think critically about constraints, documentation, and designing with purpose rather than just theory.

Alongside that, I’m continuing to develop my skills in programming and web development. I'm particularly focused on expanding my knowledge of languages and frameworks. Currently, I'm comfortable with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python, and I'm exploring others like React and Node.js.

Outside of tech, I’m still heavily hands-on — working on mechanical projects and learning through trial, error, and iteration. That balance between digital and physical problem-solving is something I value and actively pursue.

What's Next

Looking ahead, I plan to pursue a degree in Computer Science, where I can continue developing a strong foundation in software, systems, and problem-solving.

I’m particularly interested in exploring areas that bridge theory and application — building tools, understanding large-scale systems, and working on projects that have real-world impact.

Beyond academics, I’m looking forward to collaborating with people who challenge my thinking and push me to grow, both technically and creatively.

On The Side

On the side, I like to stay hands-on. I work on mechanical projects, experimenting with creative coding, and exploring ideas out of curiosity rather than obligation.

These projects help me think differently, apply what I learn, and stay engaged with both physical and digital systems.
