Portrait of Jerin Jacob

Full-stack developer who turns complex requirements into intuitive, high-performance web applications with React, Next.js and Node.js.

I started in ReactJS building responsive, data-heavy front ends for clients in Canada and the US, then grew into full-stack work: APIs, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD and the product decisions in between.

Today I build PracMind, a practice-management platform for psychologists on Next.js and Google Cloud designed around HIPAA, and I've been running Getaix, my own multi-tenant marketplace, since 2021.

Before code took over, I earned a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering and trained 150+ students in CAD. Teaching taught me patience and how to explain complex things simply, which I still use every day with teams and clients.
