<h2>Hi there! I'm Jake. <span id="wave">&#x1F44B;</span></h2>
<h3>I'm a frontend web developer based in <a href="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/rLwbzGyC6t4?hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;showinfo=1&amp;rel=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3" title="&quot;Boston Accent Trailer - Late Night with Seth Meyers&quot; on YouTube" id="boston" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston</a>.</h3>
<p>My recent focus has been on <a href="https://stackoverflow.blog/2018/01/11/brutal-lifecycle-javascript-frameworks/" title="&quot;The Brutal Lifecycle of JavaScript Frameworks&quot; by Ian Allen" id="javascript" target="_blank" rel="noopener">modern JavaScript frameworks</a> like <a href="https://reactjs.org/" title="React Official Website" id="react" target="_blank" rel="noopener">React</a>, <a href="https://angular.io/" title="Angular Official Website" id="angular" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angular</a>, and <a href="https://vuejs.org/" title="Vue.js Official Website" id="vue" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vue</a> in front of <a href="https://nodejs.org/en/" title="Node.js Official Website" id="node" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Node</a> and <a href="https://golang.org/" title="Golang Official Website" id="golang" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Go</a> backends...</p>
<p>...but I'm fluent in classics like <a href="https://stitcher.io/blog/php-in-2019" title="&quot;PHP in 2019&quot; by Brent Roose" id="php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PHP</a>, <a href="https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/" title="Ruby Official Website" id="ruby" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ruby</a>, <a href="https://www.python.org/" title="Python Official Website" id="python" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Python</a>, and <a href="https://go.java/index.html" title="Java Official Website" id="java" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Java</a> as well.</p>
<p>Whenever possible, I prioritize my interest in <a href="https://bugcrowd.com/jakejarvis" title="Jake Jarvis on Bugcrowd" id="infosec" target="_blank" rel="me noopener">information security</a>, <a href="https://martinfowler.com/articles/serverless.html" title="&quot;Serverless Architectures&quot; by Mike Roberts" id="server" target="_blank" rel="noopener">server<span id="serverless">(less)</span> architecture</a>, <a href="https://roadmap.sh/devops/2018" title="&quot;DevOps Roadmap&quot; by Kamran Ahmed" id="devops" target="_blank" rel="noopener">efficient DevOps &amp; CI</a>, and the <a href="https://engineering.fb.com/data-center-engineering/tupperware/" title="&quot;Containerized Deployment at Facebook&quot; by Kenny Yu &amp; Chunqiang Tang" id="containers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">containerization of everything</a>.</p>
<p>I fell in love with <a href="/y2k/" title="My Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad First Website" id="y2k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">frontend web design</a> and <a href="/notes/my-first-code/" title="Jake's Bulletin Board, circa 2003" id="jbb">backend programming</a> when my only source of income was <a href="/birthday/" title="🎉 Cranky Birthday Boy on VHS Tape 📼" id="birthday">the Tooth Fairy</a>. <span id="shh">(I've improved a bit since then...)</span></p>
