Welcome, wary web traveler, to my corner of the internet. I appreciate your company and I hope you learn something while you're here.

The aim of this webpage is to showcase a little about me, my projects, my hobbies, and to share the knowledge I have obtained throughout these adventures. Here, "Home" you can find general information about me and this website, as well as some links to what I personally think are the most interesting projects/articles/topics on here. "Blog" will contain instructional articles, project articles, and other interesting (to me) topics. Finally, "Tips and Tricks" lists some software, hardware, and vendors that I personally use or enjoy.

If this is your last time here, I wish you good luck and prosperity in all your future endeavors. 🥳

Well, my name is Jacob, and I am a full time student at the moment, as well as working as an Associate Embedded Software Engineer based out of the American mid-west. Primarily, I develop firmware for data acquisition devices and specialize in device drivers, communication interfaces, and RTOS programming. My hobbies don't stray far from work, mostly revolving around robotics, measurement, and automation projects.
