Hi! I’m Jorge Jacob Toledo, a career shifter with a background in engineering and a passion for solving real-world problems through code. I specialize in building full-stack web applications using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) and I focus on writing clean, maintainable code and crafting practical, user-friendly solutions.
I recently built a complete meal planning web app called FitCents, designed to help users plan healthy meals based on their budget and biometric data. It features dynamic recipe generation, smart grocery lists, pantry tracking, and tiered user roles. I handled both frontend and backend development, database modeling with Mongoose, and REST API integration. My experience has sharpened my skills in building scalable, real-life applications from scratch.
As a worker, I want to be known for three things:
? Craftsmanship – I care deeply about the quality and structure of my code
? Initiative – I don’t wait to be told what to learn or do; I push forward, research, and improve
? Reliability – I’m committed, consistent, and I show up with the goal of delivering value every day
I’m looking for opportunities where I can grow with a team, contribute meaningfully to real products, and keep improving as a developer. I'm ready to take on challenges and excited to collaborate with people who care about what they build.
