Software engineer and game developer building practical tools to reduce friction.

Hi, I'm Jake

I'm a programmer and game developer who has found a love for building tools. I enjoy getting to create something that can reduce friction in a workflow. Whether that's a developer tool, an automated pipeline, or a system to make it easier to get work done.

Most of my tools projects arise naturally out of what I'm already working on. I find something that could work better or is frustrating, and want to build the thing that fixes it. In my spare time, I make indie games and development tools under the name Half-Way Games.

Game development gives me a place to explore larger systems and varied creative problems, while my tooling projects serve a focused, useful software to alleviate pain points or make a process easier for the user.
