Jake Mitchell is One of the Topfunky Ones

Software developers are hard to find. Good ones are even harder.

We’re fortunate to have found one.

Jake Mitchell has degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics. He’s a polyglot programmer with experience in many languages and frameworks. Jake’s the kind of person who you’ll find implementing a TIFF image parser in CoffeeScript that renders to the HTML canvas. For fun.

Jake started working full time at PeepCode about a month ago and has already implemented some useful backend code and started on a new video series for us. If you’ve ever wanted to understand how cryptography works, you’ll want to keep an eye out for it.
