Jake Hoover's profile on Product Hunt

About

Jake Hoover is a solo founder and builder based in Portland, Oregon. He's spent his career moving fast across software, operations, and products, most recently building MailThePresident, a civic tool that turns anyone's voice into a real, physical, first-class letter delivered to the White House. He builds with React, Node, and whatever gets the job done, and has a habit of going from zero to shipped in days rather than months. When he's not building, he's probably thinking about the next thing.

The key insight we got while working on ProblemHunt 🦄
