Jake dedicates himself to innovating new automations and tools across the company. He also manages Small Cell A&E projects in the OHPA Region.
Career Highlights
Jake got started in Telecom at American Tower Corporation where he was a Network Design Engineer. There he was responsible for Fiber and power designs for Distributed Antenna Systems in the Western U.S. During his time at American Tower, he became the go-to engineer for onboarding new equipment into their ecosystem. Jake got his start writing automations, creating a program that decreased drawing time by 90% and increased accuracy and consistency between drafters.
After American Tower, Jake branched out to the agriculture industry, joining a corn breeding start-up — and again leveraging automation to improve manufacturing and data analysis. This is where he met his new best friend, Python.
