Hi, I’m Jake. I copyedit tutorials here at Real Python. After a decade-plus editing textbooks and other educational materials in the academic publishing industry, I decided to pursue my interest in technical editing and was fortunate enough to find a home in the Python community.

When I’m not studying style guides or wrangling misplaced modifiers, I’m typically chasing after my kids, making music, or soaking up liquid sunshine in my hometown of Portland, Oregon.
