Hi, I’m Jake!

You may have noticed that I’m into motorcycles, but I have other hobbies too, such as photography, woodturning, pickleball, crosswords, scuba diving, playing guitar, camping, reading, writing, gardening, and gaming - to name a few. I’m a fan of anything absurd; I like putting myself in difficult (some would say idiotic) situations and improvising my way out.

Professionally, I am passionate about the intersection of bleeding edge technology and impact. I have managed complex technology projects in Africa, India, and Southeast Asia, from autonomous transportation to the remote monitoring of vaccine cold chains. At Sama, I was responsible for providing white-glove service to the company’s largest multimillion dollar account and earning top customer satisfaction scores. I enjoy walking between technical and non-technical worlds, and I am just as capable diving into the nitty gritty as I am at seeing the big picture. I love bringing diverse, global teams together, from Silicon Valley to the Great Rift Valley.

I have just finished my yearlong moto-sabbatical and am excited to get to work. If you have any opportunities available, I would love to hear from you on LinkedIn (link below).

Thanks for reading!

Jake
