Concept pitch

Created, built, and pitched to Origin Story Coffee.

I designed a full responsive website concept, built the desktop and mobile experience, then pitched it directly to the shop as a practical upgrade for their online presence. They were highly interested, but the project paused because the budget was not available at the time.

About

Builder by nature.
Problem-solver by trade.

I'm Jacob — 23, based in downtown Pittsburgh. By day I work in IT at a law firm. Outside of that, I build things that look great and work the way they should.

My background is in Information Systems with a Computer Science minor — I think about tech from both the business and code side. That combination is what separates the things I build from everything else.

Right now

I’m helping small businesses build websites and automations that look sharp, work reliably, and make customers easier to serve.
