About
Hi, I'm Jacob Bello
A technology professional focused on building reliable, secure digital systems.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from California State University, Monterey Bay, with a concentration in Network and Security. My work sits at the intersection of web development, infrastructure, and security, where I enjoy designing systems that are both powerful and built to last.
Currently, I work with CSUMB University Communications as a Web Content Specialist, helping develop and deliver the university's modern web platform while ensuring content and systems are efficient, accessible, and scalable.
Alongside my professional work, I'm actively building web applications and independent projects, many of which are showcased on this site. These projects allow me to explore new ideas, experiment with technologies, and continue improving my development workflow.
I'm also deeply interested in networking and security, spending time studying network architecture, securing systems, and running my own network environments to better understand how infrastructure supports modern applications.
This site highlights some of the projects and systems I've built while continuing to grow as a developer and technologist.
