Top SchoolJak Willsher is an experienced hospitality professional with 11 years in culinary and management roles who is transitioning into web development after completing an 11-week intensive at Codaisseur covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.js, and React. Based in Burnham-on-Crouch, he brings strong leadership from hands-on positions as head chef, sous chef, and assistant manager, with a track record of running busy kitchens and mentoring teams.
