Jacob Sommer

I'm a software engineer currently contracted at EPRI, where I work on tools that support the nuclear energy sector. I hold a BS in Computer Science from UC Irvine, and have experience in full-stack development using React, Express, and Next.js, as well as desktop and web application development with .NET, C#, and Python. My interest in software started at 11 with writing Minecraft mods, and has since expanded into developing web applications and tinkering with new technologies. When I'm not coding, I enjoy photography, gaming, 3D printing, building PCs, and playing guitar.
