Hi, I'm Jake. 👋

I'm a senior software engineer with over a decade of experience building and shipping production systems with React, Ruby, Elixir, Python, and PostgreSQL in small, high-trust teams.

Outside of software, I make music, meditate, and go on long walks with a heavy backpack.

I work full time as a senior software engineer, helping teams ship cool things while growing their skills, judgment, and confidence.

I'm available for consulting work and publicly release software projects and talks as often as I can.

I share what I'm learning in two places:

• Posts — Longer essays
• TIL — Short, technical daily learnings

Formally and informally, I jump at opportunities to help people grow. I teach bootcamps, mentor 1:1, and work with dozens of engineers at different stages of their careers.

I organize the Maine JS Meetup, which has grown into an engaged, highly technical group helping strengthen the Maine tech scene.

The best way to contact me is via email: jake@jakeworth.com. I'm on social media via these profiles:

• GitHub profile
• LinkedIn profile
• Bluesky profile
