Jacob Haug

President & CEO

Technology has always been more than a career — it's a calling. With more than 20 years of software development experience and a track record of building successful ventures, I bring a unique combination of technical expertise and business acumen to every project.

My journey began with a curiosity for how things work, which evolved into founding web communities and hosting companies. The experience at Apple taught me what it means to build products that truly delight users, with attention to every detail.

Currently, I'm building Level — a modern remote monitoring and management platform for IT professionals. My ongoing work consulting with the FBI on cybersecurity keeps me at the cutting edge of security practices, ensuring that every solution we build is not just functional, but secure by design.
