About me
Hey, I'm Jake a cybersecurity student and founder of Valink Solutions Ltd. based in Ontario, providing consulting, development, and graphic design services. While working on my bachelor's in cybersecurity, I'm building towards a future where I can help teach digital security across Canadian communities.
I started with Python but have since moved to systems and backend development using Rust, focusing on creating secure, practical solutions. Through Valink Solutions and my open-source contributions, I try to make technology more accessible to everyone. My experiences with ADHD and ASD have shaped how I approach problems and reinforced my belief in building inclusive technical solutions.
When I'm not studying or working on client projects, you'll find me contributing to open-source projects, gaming, or planning future educational initiatives. I'm passionate about sharing knowledge and making the digital world a bit safer for everyone.
