Hi there 👋

I'm Jake Rullman

Systems Development Engineer at Amazon Web Services

I'm a 24 year old engineer living in Seattle, Washington.

From a young age, I have been incredibly passionate about technology and how it can help others — I created my first LLC when I was 13 years old and my non-profit at 16.

Instead of attending college, I decided to join Amazon Web Services, where I have spent the last 5 years, and am currently focused on building AWS Outposts.

When I find the time outside of my work, I dedicate myself to my not-for-profit endeavors, primarily tackling internet censorship. By developing freely accessible networks and software, people worldwide — including those in China, Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia — are able to circumvent the repressive governments that seek to silence them by restricting their fundamental right to access the open internet.

I volunteer and contribute to several open-source and community projects.

I was a Google Glass Explorer, and worked on a number of projects ranging from creating apps for assisting the deaf and hearing-impaired to developing systems designed for the U.S. Military.

My hobbies are always changing and evolving, but it's safe to say that many of them tend to involve voiding warranties.
