I’m a full stack software developer with a diverse skillset that ranges from building single page applications using React and Express.js, to quickly churning out a marketing site for a small business, to designing a website interface from the ground up using Adobe Xd. Currently freelancing, but looking to join a team.
Hello, I’m Jared! I love, love, love designing and building anything that runs on code, especially if it lives on the internet. My passion for web development started in early 2020 when I was laid off due to COVID, was stuck in lockdown, and needed something to do. I found some coding challenges online and haven’t looked back!
Since discovering this passion, I have started a freelance web design and development business, launched several websites out into the wild, and completed a software engineering bootcamp. My main focus now is leveraging the technical skills that I learned in the bootcamp in tandem with the communication and customer facing skills that I learned freelancing to deliver more and more complex products to my clients.
