Background

About Jacob Weeks

I’m a results-driven Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience delivering scalable backend systems, dynamic front-end interfaces, and cloud-based infrastructures that power data-centric applications. Proficient in Python, PHP, JavaScript, Laravel, React, VueJS, MySQL, and PostgreSQL, I thrive on transforming complex requirements into impactful solutions—whether I’m building analytics dashboards, integrating third-party APIs, or deploying large language models for advanced AI capabilities. My background spans roles in both startup and enterprise environments, including contributing to internal systems at Skechers and leading the development of robust analytics platforms at OnSpot Data. Along the way, I’ve leveraged AWS services (Lambda, SQS, DynamoDB, EC2), Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and open-source frameworks like HuggingFace Transformers and LangChain to optimize performance, automate workflows, and drive innovation. I’m passionate about pushing the boundaries of AI and machine learning to solve real-world problems—such as creating intelligent applications with OpenAI’s API and fine-tuning language models locally for custom use cases. My aim is to blend cutting-edge technology with a user-focused approach, ensuring solutions are both innovative and intuitive. Always eager to collaborate, I believe in mentoring teams, championing best practices, and fostering a culture of continuous learning.
