Builder of things useful, curious, and occasionally unnecessary.
I'm Jacob — a Florida-based engineer, maker, and lifelong tinkerer. I have a knack for taking complex things and making them simple — whether that's a tangled system, a messy workflow, or a problem nobody's gotten around to solving yet. After hours, I build things — physical, digital, and sometimes just for the fun of figuring out how.
I run an extensive Obsidian vault that covers everything from theology notes to work documentation. I've built custom plugins and dashboards, including an AI-powered summary generator that uses the Claude API to create weekly, monthly, and yearly note summaries with full backlink citations.

I run a Raspberry Pi setup at home for networking, monitoring, and automation. Projects have included a travel router with ad blocking, Telegram bots for email digests and router monitoring, and remote access via Tailscale.

My faith is central to everything I do. I lead and participate in men's Bible study, maintain deep theology notes, and have explored publishing Bible study devotional materials. I also practice daily scripture memory, prayer journaling, and have written a personal faith testimony.

I run a small consulting business offering workflow simplification, IT support, and technology guidance to small businesses and individuals. Whether it's untangling a messy setup, choosing the right tools, or automating the boring stuff — I help people work smarter with the tech they already have.
Hands-on tech consulting for small businesses — workflow automation, IT troubleshooting, and practical technology advice.
I design and print functional parts, household tools, and the occasional just-for-fun model on my Bambu Lab P1P. I publish my designs on MakerWorld and enjoy the challenge of taking an idea from concept to printed object.
