Jacob Williams

Hi, I'm Jacob — a software engineer and engineering leader with experience as both an IC and manager. I specialize in building data integrations and ETL pipelines, and I'm passionate about project management and helping teams grow.

I'm currently focused on leading a team to modernize my company's data integration platform, leveraging modern cloud computing technologies and AI to accelerate and simplify critical processes.

Outside of work, I'm also a part-time actor and writer — you might spot me in a commercial. I love mentoring newer devs and currently explore side projects in game development using Unity and C#.

I’m proud to volunteer with Code the Dream, helping mentor developers who are transitioning into tech careers.
