Jake McCambley

Full Stack Software Engineer

Hey there, I'm Jake.

I am a full stack software engineer with experience building websites and web applications.

I've spent the past six years working around the United States in a variety of Industries. From wilderness therapy to mountain hospitality I've worn many hats. I've always been drawn to roles that connect humans to themselves and others.

These days my time is spent building and deploying beautiful websites. I've long been interested in the convergence of creativity and problem solving, and learning how to better occupy that space. My work is a product of that search. I design and build websites that look good and solve problems.

When I'm not coding, you can find me making music, out hiking, and petting all the good dogs.

Experience

Currently, I work at Zencare

I build features in order to help people find the right therapist.

At Zencare.co, I work across the stack to meet the demands of a multi-faceted and growing startup. My work compliments the efforts of many other teams to bring our proprietary search engine, client portal, therapist portal, and admin panel to life.

With a professional experience in Wilderness Therapy and a personal history with mental health, I'm passionate about the work I do at Zencare, helping people find the right care specific to their needs.
