My name is Jacob Handwerger. I enjoy bringing ideas to life and creating experiences that people enjoy. I am a self starter, a problem solver, and, most of all, a lifelong learner. I genuinely enjoy learning new skills and languages using my fundamentals, and I find that the most rewarding aspect of programming is turning a vision into reality through action. If I'm not coding, I'm either lifting weights, training martial arts, or reading. In everything I do, I strive for discipline and excellence. I am always looking for ways to improve my skills and knowledge, and I am committed to getting better every day.
My journey started when I became involved in the web 3 space around 2 ago. Immersing myself within that ecosystem not only showed me how incredible blockchain technology is but also how incredible the people behind it are. I was eager to build just like them. What started as a self-taught journey featuring HTML and CSS quickly evolved into something I wanted to take to the next level. So I enrolled in a coding bootcamp. The bootcamp was a great experience. Not only did I learn the latest and greatest tech, but, more importantly, I solidified my programming fundamentals and principles. Since finishing my bootcamp, I've been devoting myself to coding every day.
I have acquired proficiency in several programming languages and frameworks, and use those languages on the frontend and backend. Over the course of my learning journey, I have successfully conceptualized, designed, and executed several diverse projects that showcase my practical skills and problem-solving abilities. My passion for coding and my dedication to continuous improvement drive me to stay updated with the latest industry trends and technologies. I am currently working as a developer full-time where I apply my skills to contribute effectively with my team and make a meaningful impact. I am also studying DSA using books, LeetCode, and MIT courses. It's a lot of fun!
As I look ahead, I am focused on enhancing my skills within my current tech stack even further. The ever-evolving nature of the tech industry encourages continuous learning, and I am committed to staying at the forefront using the fundamentals, which I am continuously hammering down on. I am excited to continue on with my journey, learn, grow, and make an impact.
