About Me

Portrait of Jacob Kukuk, a full-stack developer and systems engineer in Las Vegas.

I’m a Las Vegas-based IT professional with over 15 years of experience wearing a lot of technical hats. From full-stack development to systems administration to engineering resilient IT infrastructures, I’ve done it, built it, or fixed it.

What sets me apart? I’m largely self-taught. I didn’t follow a traditional tech path; I built my skills through hands-on experimentation, deep dives into documentation, and plenty of late-night "ah-ha!" moments. That curiosity still drives me today.

My toolbox includes C#, PowerShell, SQL, SharePoint, VMWare, Azure, AWS, and a whole lot more. I thrive on crafting solutions that not only work but scale, evolve, and make life easier for users and IT teams alike.
