Hi, my name is
Jacob Mangini
Web Developer
I’m a junior developer with expertise in Drupal 10, HTML/CSS, and Python, enhancing client-facing websites and developing user-friendly GUIs. I am a proven collaborator with experience in educational support and scientific software optimization.
About me
I am recent graduate of the University of Maryland, College Park with a Bachelors of Science degree in Computer Science. I’ve had a strong passion for programming and web development since I started my CS journey back in 9th grade. I have enhanced my skills through hands-on experience in both academic and applied settings.
I’ve built automation tools for liquid handling robots used in molecular biology labs, contributed to a scientific publication, and helped maintain and enhance Drupal 10 websites for client facing platforms. As a Teaching Assistant for a mobile development course, I supported students learning Flutter and Dart while deepening my own understanding of clean, scalable code.
I’m especially interested in full-stack web development, with a strong focus on backend development. I’m always eager to take on new challenges, grow my technical skills, and contribute to meaningful, well-built software.
My Achievements
Co-authored study on automating cell-free biosensor assembly using liquid-handling robotics, enhancing scalability and quality control for synthetic biology diagnostics. (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acssynbio.4c00703)
