My name is Jacob Stopak and I'm a self-taught programmer/developer/hacker who started learning Python around 2002. Like many kids, I first played around with making games with tools like Pygame. Eventually this evolved into learning to use the Linux command-line, learning Git, and web development frameworks such as Spring Boot. Currently, I'm self-employed as a software consultant / independent contractor and I run this website as a side-gig, until it can become my main gig :)
