Hi, I'm Jake Kinchen. I design and ship production-grade web apps and ML tooling, turning loose requirements into crisp interfaces quickly and mapping the path from v1 to scale.

Lately I've been building across Next.js, Python, Postgres, SwiftUI, and shader-powered interfaces: Textbook2Video, MolecuLens, agentic dashboards, research automation, and pipeline systems that keep the feedback loop tight.
