About Me

Hi, I’m Jacqueline—engineer by trade, optimizer by nature.

Welcome to Optimize with Jacqueline, where I share honest, data-driven hacks for making life run smoother. Whether you’re looking to streamline your finances, level up your fitness routine, explore the world without blowing your budget, or just get your home (and headspace) in order, you’re in the right place.

I created this space as a digital lab—a place to experiment with systems, routines, and strategies that turn chaos into flow. Think of it as part lifestyle guide, part behind-the-scenes of an engineer’s brain trying to optimize… well, everything.

Here you’ll find:

Real-world experiments (like paying off a 30-year mortgage in under 10)
Fitness insights (from a weightlifting-while-cycling-through-my-cycle perspective)
Travel breakdowns (because good food, hot springs, and spreadsheets can coexist)
DIY home hacks and gear reviews (tested, sometimes failed, always improved)

This blog is for people who believe progress beats perfection—and that a good plan makes room for joy.

Thanks for stopping by—I’m glad you’re here.
