About Me

Hi, my name is Jacob Luttrull! I'm a software engineer who specializes in Python, SQL, and frameworks like Django, FastAPI, and Go. I'm a persistent problem-solver who enjoys digging into tough bugs and finding clean solutions. I'm currently seeking junior backend or AI-focused software engineering roles where I can keep growing and contribute from day one.

I've been studying and building software for about five years, starting with C++ and eventually falling in love with Python. Along the way I've built a range of projects — including the site you're on right now — that have sharpened my skills and deepened my passion for backend development. When I'm not programming, I enjoy gaming, hiking in nice weather, and working out.
