Background

About Jacob Ilagan

I'm Jacob, a Full Stack Developer passionate about building web applications that solve meaningful business challenges. Currently at Kenilworth Media Inc, I'm working on veterinary education technology that serves over professionals. I develop integrations between VetMedTeam, PathLMS, and Auth0 to create seamless course access experiences. The platform uses.NET 8 with Clean Architecture and Angular 19, managing 400+ courses across 24 categories while handling complex RACE/VHMA compliance requirements. My recent technical work includes migrating Angular components from module-based to standalone architecture, implementing SSO authentication flows, and debugging cross-layer data integration issues. I work extensively with NSwag-generated TypeScript clients for type-safe API communication and handle the complexities of multi-system integrations. Previously at Ontario Public Service, I built a GoCloud cost estimation application using React, TypeScript, and Cosmos DB that DevOps teams use for infrastructure planning. I also optimized.NET applications and SQL Server queries, achieving measurable performance improvements through strategic caching and query tuning. At Ministry of Health, I developed workflow automation tools using Power Apps and SQL Server integrations, streamlining processes for hundreds of government staff members. Technical focus: JavaScript/TypeScript, Angular/React.NET 8, Entity Framework Core, AWS/Azure. I particularly enjoy working on authentication systems, API integrations, and solving the challenges of making different systems communicate effectively. Background: My path included studying Political Science and Philosophy before transitioning to development - the analytical thinking and problem-solving approaches have proven valuable for debugging complex system integrations.
