๐ค My Little Helper Guy
A little Telegram bot that tells me whether to grab an umbrella and sends a morning rundown. Slowly growing into a real assistant.

Hey, I'm Jake. I write software for work and make things the rest of the time, usually at the pottery wheel, in the kitchen, or in the middle of a new side project. This is where I keep a few of them.
I'm a software engineer in Chicago. I like problems I can actually get my hands on and finish, which is probably why so many of my hobbies end in something you can hold, eat, or ride.
When I'm not at a keyboard I'm throwing pots, cooking something good, out on the bike, or in the gym. I travel when I get the chance, and I put plenty of hours into video games too.

GitHub โThe stuff that fills my evenings and weekends.
Throwing and hand-building on the wheel. Mostly mugs and bowls that end up in the actual cabinet.
Always have a next trip half-planned. Will happily fly somewhere just for the food.
My other way of making something with my hands. Weeknight staples and the occasional weekend project.
How I actually unwind. A little bit of everything, depending on the mood.
In the gym most weeks. It keeps the rest of this list running.
Out on the bike when the weather cooperates, and sometimes when it doesn't.
There's always one going. A few of them ended up in the Projects section above.
