Hi! I'm Jake and I'm an experienced QA engineer working in the Austin, TX area. I also have experience in development, design, positive customer interaction, technical documentation, and IT. I helped to create the world's first co-op brewpub, an environmental organization when I was 14, and I'm an Eagle Scout! A few of my other interests include starting and helping non-profits, community involvement, emergency management, storm chasing, and taking apart everything I can find. Just a few more: I have experience in marketing, volunteer coordination, the music industry, startups, and I love carpentry. Thanks for taking the time to visit my Linked in page!
