Hi. I'm a front-end-leaning full-stack developer based in NYC with 8+ years of experience shipping maintainable, high-performance web apps for fast-moving startups, creative agencies, and companies like Apple, OpenAI, and Comcast. I take ownership of projects from planning to deployment, collaborate effectively across teams, and love solving complex technical challenges. Lately, I've been exploring LLMs and emerging AI cloud services.
I'm actively looking for a full-time role at a thoughtful, purpose-driven startup—NYC or remote—as a senior front-end or full-stack developer. I'm also currently taking on select freelance projects, always excited to work with new people on fresh challenges.

Don't take my word for it.
Jared was a pleasure to work with at our shared time at Elephant. We worked alongside each other with a wide range of web technologies, including React and React Native. I could count on Jared to raise important UX, engineering and feasibility considerations. Any team would be lucky to have him.
Brittney Kernan
Team Leader & Software Engineer at Notion
Jared is one of the most creative and determined developers you will ever meet. He brings an all-world mindset to his programming, and is unflappable against challenges and roadblocks as they come up. He is an excellent choice for a development project.
Adam Spunberg
Global Head of Operations, 100+ Accelerator, AB InBev
Jared was a smart choice to develop my personal portfolio. He accomplished all the things I was worried wouldn't work and was very patient with all my questions and feedback! He was very responsive and quick with updates. He even met with me in person to show me how to use the custom template he built in WordPress. The project met my vision and I am very happy with it. Thank you!
