ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm Jacob McClennon, a Backend Engineer with a Bachelor's degree in Physics from The University of Glasgow. I have a passion for problem-solving and a real love for building efficient, reliable systems. I specialise in Python programming, with experience building scalable solutions that keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Whether it’s optimising database queries or troubleshooting the unexpected, I find real satisfaction in the details. Right now, I’m actively on the lookout for a new role, so if you’re looking for someone driven and hardworking, we should definitely connect.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the chance to take on some exciting challenges, and I’m proud to say I’ve been promoted in every role I’ve held. It’s not just about climbing the ladder for me, though—it’s a reflection of my commitment to each project and team I’ve worked with. I bring that same drive to every task, no matter how big or small, and I’ve become the go-to person for tackling tough problems and helping to streamline processes.

Aside from my technical skillset, I’m known for being determined and resilient. I’m the type of person who digs into a problem until I’ve found a solution and fine-tuned it to perfection. I’m eager to bring my skills to a new team where I can continue to grow and contribute meaningfully. If you’re searching for a backend engineer who’s not only technically skilled but also fully invested in delivering results, I’d love to connect and explore how I could bring value to your team.
