About

Hi, I’m Jacob Zolda — a computer engineer and U.S. Navy veteran who builds embedded and real-time systems where technology meets creative media. My hands-on experience spans live-performance robotics, wearable signal-processing platforms, and a range of programming projects and cinematic production.

I’m seeking an engineering role in the film or video-game industry where technical depth supports creative storytelling and where I can contribute to innovative hardware-software solutions that bring ideas to life.
