“I needed a change… a new challenge”

About Me

Hey, I’m Jaak! My career has taken me on an incredible journey, from working with elite athletes as a sports massage therapist to diving headfirst into the world of IT.

For 12 years, I specialised in sports massage, working with some of Australia’s top athletes—Olympians, AFL players, professional golfers, and many others. My job was all about optimising recovery, preventing injuries, and helping athletes perform at their peak. Alongside that, as a qualified personal trainer, I provided mobility and recovery exercises to clients, ensuring they moved better and felt stronger.

In 2023, I made the decision to leave the world of massage and take on a new challenge: transitioning into the tech industry. I landed an entry-level IT role at a small MSP, and ever since, I’ve been fully immersing myself in everything tech-related—learning, problem-solving, and constantly expanding my skill set.

I created this site as a way to document my journey, track what I’m learning, and showcase the things I build along the way. Whether it’s new skills, projects, or insights, this space is where I bring everything together.

Excited for what’s ahead—let’s see where this journey takes me!
