The person behind @themitrennial

A bit about me

I'm Jack—building under the handles @themitrennial or @JIAlive. I’m a Software Engineering Apprentice focused on modern web architecture and high-performance UI.

This is where I share what I'm building, what I get wrong, and what I'm learning as I work in public.

When I'm not writing software, you'll probably find me live on Twitch or training under a barbell.Software, streaming and strength training.
