Cyber security
The security perspective I bring to questions of trust, access, and data handling.
03 / ABOUT JAKE
A technical foundation.
A curious way of thinking.
I’m Jake. My work sits across software, security, and the systems that connect people. I’m interested in how things work — and how they could work better.
THE PERSON / BEHIND THE SYSTEMSJake.
Software engineeringCyber securityIndependent projects
Formal learning.
Hands-on exploration.
I have formal education in both cyber security and software engineering. That combination informs how I approach software: considering the experience someone needs, the structure behind it, and the boundaries around it.
My projects range from community support platforms and monitoring tools to roleplay worlds and custom game systems. They give me room to apply that foundation to practical problems, explore unfamiliar ideas, and connect different disciplines.
I care about the details that make a system useful: an understandable interface, a clear permission model, a reliable flow of information, or a small tool that removes an everyday frustration.
THE FOUNDATION / EDUCATION
Two disciplines.
One connected perspective.
My formal education spans the building of software and the security considerations around it.
Software engineering
The engineering perspective I bring to the structure, implementation, and behaviour of software.
BEYOND THE FORMAL SIDE
Always another
rabbit hole.
The professional and creative sides of my work come from the same place. I enjoy figuring things out, whether that means a community platform, a new integration, or an unusual game mechanic.
Some of my favourite problems are wonderfully specific. The smaller creations are part of the story, too.
