Hi, I'm Jacob McCrumb.
I'm a husband a dad who happens to write code to pay the bills and as a hobby. Way back in college I was a philosopher, and later when I was considering what career to follow - I discovered I had an aptitude for programming and also rather liked it and so here we are.
Surprisingly, progress on side projects has stalled in recent years. But I have had plenty of practice navigating ambiguity and 24/7 production support.

Projects
I've had a few side projects I've worked on for fun. Most never see the light of day but some of the more polished ones are listed here.
Seven Wonders (Web Port)
Play GameA fully playable web-based version of the popular board game "7 Wonders". Way back in 2019, had some extra time at home, so I built out this game (with the option of playing against "computer" players). It was a good excuse to learn some React (something I was interested) and work out hosting locally with the help of docker and nginx.For a database, I have neo4j set up to track game state over time.
Meal Planner & Grocery List
Coming SoonThe itch to build something struck again in 2023, I was missing the joys of graph DB's and wanted to improve my go skills so I started to plan and build out a meal planning and grocery shopping app (target audience: myself). It got delayed in pre-production due to a higher priority task :D. But if I do end up finishing it, the link will be here.
