My name is Jack

My name is Jack Lynch.

I am 25 years old and moved to NYC in 2025 with my wife and goldendoodle from Ohio.

I love the outdoors; including but not limited to hiking, running, and working out. I watch every Formula 1 race. Cleveland sports fan for life (in the good times and mostly bad). I love making videos. I love to hangout with family and friends. And I love to build.

For the last 6 years, I've been an engineer working at early-stage tech startups. I love the chaos. Wearing multiple hats. Figuring out what problems exist and relentlessly working on them until they're solved (at least most of the way).

I am also CONSTANTLY tinkering on the side in my free time outside work.

Over the past few years, I have built upwards of 30 different websites and apps. None have really materialized into anything.... yet.

I feel like this is primarily due to my inability to focus on marketing, finding/talking to customers, and sticking with something for long enough to prove it out. But also probably because I'm often building things for the sake of building them.

In some sense, I think I have shiny object syndrome. I also always want to be messing around with new tech. Like I said, I love to solve problems, whether or not people are asking for solutions.

Some of the more recent stuff I've worked on:

1. https://www.casestudy.app - A tool I built with my friend Ethan for marketers/customer success people to summarize their client calls into case studies in their own format. We spent a couple months talking to potential customers, bet were never able to get anyone to actual pay it.
2. https://www.racingdecoded.com - Like I said, I love F1. I found some open-source data on kaggle for races over the past 30 years and vibe-coded a site to show interesting slices of the data. It was purely passion project, never tried to monetize, but loved playing around with the data and building a barely functional visualization tool for
3. https://www.affirmationswithjoey.com - Most recent project, entirely vibe coded. I've never built and published an app before, so I wanted that experience. Just now trying to market through organic social.

Unrelated, at the end of 2025 and into 2026, I posted a video every day for 130 consecutive days to prove I could be consistent (goal was 100 days, goal achieved!). I was trying to prove I could be consistent for an extended period of time (unlike me jumping from idea to idea normally) and document what I was doing.

It included training for a half-marathon. Talking about current tech trends and AI. Building (and stopping building) an app. And plenty of 11:45pm videos of me half-asleep but still posting anyways.

I really enjoyed the process of doing it. It reminded me of making stupid videos with my brother when I was younger.

But it was a lot to post a video everyday (even if only 10 seconds long) and I got a bit burnt out when I wasn't making videos I was enjoying anymore.

I think these videos are part of the reason why I wanted to start writing on this website. I really enjoy storytelling through the format of videos.

I am overall a pretty visual person. But making videos also takes a lot of effort. And sometimes it doesn't always feel like videos are the right format for my thoughts.

SO. I want to start writing more. I want to get better at expressing my thoughts and opinions, and actually HAVING opinions about things. I admire people (like my friend Josh) who have great control over language and can express their thoughts clearly and coherently.

I don't have a great idea of what I'll write about. I'm sure the quality of the writing will be sub-par for a while.

But that's okay.

I'd rather write something and be able to look back at it and see how shit it was than write nothing at all. I also have no idea what the cadence will be. But here's hoping I keep doing it :)
