Welcome! I'm Jared. You're probably wondering who I am and how I can help.
I stumbled into software while studying Bioengineering at UC Berkeley: it was love at first loop. That love ultimately culminated in a software engineer position at IBM. 2 years in, I led the frontend of my team, becoming confident with the frontend, project planning, technical discussions, and mentoring other engineers. 5 years in, I expanded laterally into backend, deployment, and automation, and actively participated in design and product discussions. 6 years in now, I lead a team.
My curiosity drives me to learn the basics of how the code ecosystem works, then search for the best gap I can fill. I also gravitate towards the work done outside of coding: determining customer needs, prioritizing them, creating user-friendly design solutions, growing a team, and the planning and coordination of the technical work.
Let's dive into specifics.

Thanks for visiting!
I'm currently looking for full-time, remote positions.
Fullstack or frontend positions with leadership opportunities best match my current skills. Professionally, I've primarily worked with JS-based languages such as React and Node. I'm also more than happy to pick up new skills and languages, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you think we'd be a good fit!
