Hello, I’m Jacob Bleser.
I’m an indie web and game developer currently living the dream in ✨ New York City ✨. In college I co-founded a small web dev shop called Studio Reach to help bootstrap local tech startups, and more recently led the engineering efforts at a VC-backed social-dating startup called The Marriage Pact, along with the Checkmate app.
Outside of work I’m also active in the open source community, primarily in Elixir and the Bevy game engine for Rust.
