About Me

Nice to meet you, I'm Jacob Cecil. I think computers are pretty neat, so I decided to learn how they work. Now, I'm a senior hoping to graduate soon with a Bachelors degree in Computer Science. I have participated in several projects, ranging from creating simple python scripts to working on the full stack of an education management system. In my free time I enjoy games, whether on PC, or tabletop. Also, I come from a family that breeds german shorthair pointers, so I spend a lot of time playing with dogs and caring for puppies. More information about my dogs can be found on our kennel's website.
