A lot has changed since then. I’m seasoned now, peppered and easy-going — not salty.
I’ve got a wife, a cat, and my computer. Soon, the three of us will be traveling the country in our house-on-wheels. What more can a man ask for?
My passion is WordPress. They call me the exterminator, because I love hunting down your pesky bugs. I’m a predator, and the code is my prey. No bug is safe.
One of my favorite aspects of web developent, is the sheer number of technologies one can use. Nowadays, WordPress is being mixed with other frontend and backend tools. I’m familiar with most of them — so if your WordPress website has any other techs involved, rest easy knowing that I can handle anything you throw my way.
My clients are my life. I am here to solve your problems. I want to make your WordPress website better, faster, harder, stronger.

Want to get a feel for how I work? Recently, I created a WordPress plugin that allows you to showcase your Etsy items on WooCommerce. Check out this little timelapse video I put together of my session, from start to finish:
As you can see, I keep my code clean. I use MVC architecture to keep the logic separated from the views, which is good code organization. I comment my code well, as a road map for anyone else working with it in the future.
Well, have you seen enough? My fingers are tingling — hurry up and hire me for your WordPress project!
Top 3 Skills

I was really lucky that Jake was available to look at and assess my project. I am so grateful that he was able to use his technical knowledge and the many skills he obviously possesses to make my project look great and professionally created. My questions were answered thoroughly and promptly and I never had to wait very long to get a response. It was as though he was sitting right next to me. Furthermore, as an old English teacher, manner of expression and the observation of the rules of our language mean a lot to me. Obviously, Jake is not only educated but mature enough to understand the value of displaying so in his communications. A pleasure to work with. Thank you, Jake. And thank you, Codeable.
Can not thank you enough for helping us clear all of this up!! Fantastic Job!
Jake's communication skills for someone like me, who has only reasonable dev skills, were indispensable. He works quickly and we were super happy to see our page speed jump after he migrated and optimized our site. Thanks, Jake!
Great talent!
Jake did a fantastic job for me. I was under a lot of pressure to migrate old blog to a new theme. Jake was able to meet the dead line and completed ahead of time. It looks great and I will be using Jake again in the future.
Great work, will hire again.
Very knowledgeable and works quickly
