About Jake M.

I am a technologist with a keen interest in mission-driven projects, particularly in media, healthcare, international education, and policy. I specialize in building high-performance applications and distributed systems. My expertise spans full-stack development and cloud computing with a strong emphasis on delivering innovative solutions to complex problems. In my current role as a developer at Syndeos, I help companies and non-profits by creating systems to clean, validate, and enrich their data, and making these accessible via rule-based workflows and natural language commands. I have a proven record of driving projects from design to deployment, optimizing system performance, and enhancing user experiences. Prior to working in tech, I spent a decade leading large, distributed global teams in international education at The Cambridge Network and TBI/New Oasis. I leverage this expertise to provide business and operations consulting, collaborating with top providers like GLG, Alphasites, Growthspurt, and more. My interests include psychology, arts, health and fitness, shoalin kung fu, spirituality, and states of consciousness. I enjoy discussing media production, general semantics, social services management, and anything else already mentioned. Let\'s connect! I am always open to discussing new opportunities, collaborations, and ideas. Feel free to reach out if you are looking for a dedicated software engineer with a proven record of success.
