Okay, so Jacob's skills are quite versatile, but his experience and location are a bit limited. As a highly ambitious professional, I'd expect him to be entry-level or early-career. His proficiency in Microsoft Office and programming languages like C++ and Python is valuable, but not extremely rare. Considering his location in Washington, D.C., I'd estimate his rate to be around the national average for entry-level professionals in similar fields. Maybe around $75 per hour, considering the cost of living in the area.
