Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself
Hi! My name is Jake, and I’m a 26-year-old software engineer living in the Seattle metropolitan area.
I grew up in the Seattle area and always knew Washington was where I wanted to be due to its natural beauty, moody atmosphere, rich musical history, and proximity to friends and family, among other things.
Four years ago, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and began my career as a software engineer at an aerospace company, where I’ve been working since.
I’m also currently pursuing a Master’s in Computer Science with a specialisation in Machine Learning.
My hobbies include reading, playing music (mainly drums and piano), weightlifting, watching movies, and playing video games.

Two years ago, I bought a house in a new neighbourhood in the suburbs.
In order to help pay for the cost of my mortgage (and also just for fun), I rented out my three unused bedrooms as well as my office room to friends.
As such, my home office is currently in my master bedroom.
