Hi, I am Jacob Harris
Computer Science student at the University of Georgia
Computer Science student at the University of Georgia
Developer based out of Athens, GA
I am a full-stack developer and student at the University of Georgia focused on the philosophy of life-long learning. Whether I'm managing large-scale databases and building APIs in the back-end or developing an intuitive user experience in the front-end, I always enjoy applying logic, creativity and collaboration to any work I do. As a growing coder in college, I'm eager to explore how software design impacts real people and to find a path that lets me make a positive difference in the world.
Outside of coding, I stay engaged in my college community by getting invovled with on-campus events and organizations. My goal is to bring together the tech community at my school and foster interest in the field by creating inclusive spaces where students can learn, connect, and build together. For fun, I like to explore creative outlets like fashion.
As the logistics coordinator for UGA's 3-day long hackathon, I plan the schedule, create workshops, and design the event's judging system. Organizing for the competiton has allowed me build my teamwork and leadership skills while also serving the CS community.
I regularly compete on UGA's competitve hacking team, the Hack Pack, while also learning various hacking practices in my own time. I recently competed in the National Cyber League's Fall 2025 Competition, in which I scored 600th out of almost 8000 competitors.
I help lead a directed reading group at UGA focused on AI Interpretability and Formalization. Each semester, our group writes expositional papers focused on our readings, and serves as a great way to help students break into research.
