Hi there, I’m Jacob

I’m excited about using software to build new products that make an impact. I like to challenge myself through competitions and working in fast-paced environments.

Currently, I’m working at krisenchat, a nonprofit organization offering free psychological counseling via chat to young people in crisis. As a Software Engineer (20 hours/week), I’m part of a cross-functional team responsible for the counseling platform. Also, I’m pursuing a master’s degree in IT-Systems Engineering at HPI. In addition to my coding abilities, I’m also focusing on learning about team collaboration and software engineering best practices. Last year, I was a tutor for the Software Engineering lecture at HPI, and more recently, I’ve completed the Google Project Management certificate.

From a technical perspective, I’m skilled in full-stack development, Deep Learning, and I’m comfortable with the subtleties of C++ and Golang.
