Jack Trevaskis

Hey guys I'm Jack! I have spent the last couple years travelling the world as a Ski Instructor. Teaching thousands of diverse students, kids and adults, I gained great leadership and communication skills. During the summers, I worked as a fulltime door-to-door salesman which included daily sales training sessions and week-long road trips that I had to help organize and manage. After getting back from my second season in Japan, I wanted to branch out and start developing new skills. So, I applied to join the Dev Academy. Here I not only developed a strong understanding of Full Stack development but also found a huge new passion coding and problem solving. I'm confident that this, combined with the skills gained from my previous roles, will make a great fit into any team environment. I can't wait to continue developing my skills and get stuck into new exciting projects!

Guitar - I have been playing guitar for over 15 years now. Guitar has always been a big passion of mine and is the best way for me to help keep my mind calm. No matter how stressed or upset something makes, I know that my guitar will always be there to comfort me.

Skiing - Skiing to me is the ultimate freedom, and being a Ski Instructor really made me dedicate a lot of time and energy into perfecting my craft. I have spent 1000s of hours practicing drills and the biggest take away I got was just how important the fundamentals are. This is something that I have taken into all other aspects of my life.

Skating - Skating is really hard, and it also really hurts. Skating has definitely helped to distill a sense of drive and persistence in me. It has taught me how to get back up time and time again after failure and injury. To never give up.
