Jake Strieb is an AutoCAD drafter with nine years of hands-on experience blending mechanical drafting expertise and practical software development. Based in Redmond, he pairs formal training in Mechanical Design/CAD from Lake Washington Institute of Technology with day-to-day CAD work at CG Engineering. Outside drafting, Jake is an active open-source contributor and full-stack tinkerer—building backend GraphQL tooling for GitHub stats and browser-first front-end projects that encode pages and password-protect links entirely in the URL. His projects emphasize practical usability: modular, well-documented code, efficient pagination, and client-side cryptography for seamless, extension-free experiences. That combination of precision drafting and creative software work gives him a unique cross-disciplinary perspective on design, tooling, and user-focused automation.
