Summary

Jake Vacovec started his career in sales, and eventually moved into the product world. He loves to cook, and finds it relaxing, and a good way to unwind from startup world. Primarily, he loves to cook steaks and likes to integrate chemistry into cooking, which aligns with the recipes he likes. Also, he loves to mountain ski, starting out when he was a 1 year old (he was the kid on the leash, he says). Jake noticed that capacity for engineering resources was scarce across the board, while the demand for experimentation in product was very high. He sought to fix the problem, by creating no code edits - for your code itself. This is the creation story of Flycode.
