I’m Jacob Andersen, a computer scientist and software engineer living in the Philippines.

I fell in love with computers when my grandfather introduced me to Microsoft 3D Pinball: Space Cadet when I was just eight years old. It was around that time that I spent much of my childhood playing, discovering, and learning all about computers. I wrote my first computer program when I was nine years old. It was a very simple website, but it ignited by desire for knowledge.

Beyond computers, I have a deep interest for all things science. I am a hobbyist physicist and engineer. I love to tinker with things, be they simple physical experiments or complex technology, just to learn how and why things work the way they do. When I was twelve years old, I built my first computer from scratch after watching some YouTube videos about the process (to be fair, credit belongs to Linus Tech Tips.)

In the real world, I love to travel. I have been to Spain (Barcelona, Zaragoza, and Madrid), France (Paris), Singapore, Indonesia (Bali), and the Philippines (various destinations). I now live in the Philippines with my wife. Interestingly enough, I have been to more international destinations than I have States in the United States. But, that's okay with me. I love embracing other places and cultures.

One day, I hope to help build a world that is increases the accessibility of travel for everyone, so that everybody might one day have the chance to open their eyes to the different cultures and experiences the beautiful world has to offer them.
