Hello, it's me
Jared.
An innovative software engineer specializing in web applications and platform development. I believe the best technology anticipates user needs rather than just meeting them, and I’m passionate about building solutions that don’t just work—they transform how people approach their daily challenges.

Growth-Driven Solutions
I specialize in full-stack web development, platform architecture, and leading cross-functional teams to deliver solutions that push beyond conventional boundaries. My journey from customer service agent to Knowledge Management Software Developer at Booking.com taught me that the most impactful innovations come from deeply understanding user frustrations and refusing to accept “that’s just how it works.”
Whether I’m optimizing user experiences for global platforms, developing custom WordPress solutions for enterprise clients, or architecting connected home systems, I approach every project with the same philosophy: identify the real problem, envision what’s possible, and build something that exceeds expectations. I thrive on challenges that others consider too complex or ambitious, and I’m energized by the opportunity to create solutions that genuinely improve how people live and work.
I have experience working with clients and teams all over the globe and in numerous industries supporting internal and external platforms. From startups to global leaders, I provide customized top-tier services to meet the needs of my clients.
