Hi, I'm Jared.

I'm a software engineer at Planet. I enjoy building user interfaces, especially with React and Redux. In my free time I like to build, fly, and crash quadcopters.

Some stuff I've done


Tilt

...

Tilt aspired to be the social payments app of the future, and I was extremely privileged to have been part of the team. At Tilt, I built the "Groups" homepage on the web, and later transitioned into an iOS role where I worked on key features like an "Inbox" notification center, which made it easier for users to find the most important messages first.

Moboom

...

Moboom is a development platform that offers a variety of products which aim to simplify the process of developing and hosting fast, responsive, and beautiful websites. Built with Backbone.js, products like Homepage and Sitekit allow users to choose a theme, enter some information, and publish with ease. DevKit allows more experienced designers and developers to use Moboom's studio, an immersive drag and drop single page application with the ability to create custom widgets.

Chit Chat

...

Chit Chat is a chat room application I built on top of Firebase. The front end is Backbone and Bootstrap, bundled up with Browserify. I built it because I wanted to learn a few things about front-end architecture and play with real-time data.

You can see the application in action here, and have a look at how its built here.

FARMcurious

...

Built with Shopify, FARMcurious is the brainchild of my amazing wife, who wants to make it easier for modern urban homesteaders to find the equipment and resources they need to keep chickens, ferment vegetables, make cheese, and more. I designed, built, and maintain FARMcurious.com

Minesweeper

...

I was once asked in an interview how I would build the game Minesweeper. I remember giving the best answer I could but truth be told, I didn't fully know how I would build it. So I went home and took a crack it. Then I did it again. It's proven to be a great learning tool. You can check it out here.

Gastronaut

...

Gastronaut is another WordPress site I built for a now-defunct catering startup. It had a few fun challenges to overcome, my favorite of which was easily updatable and searchable menus.

Work by David Hoffman

One of the first websites I built. All hardcoded HTML pages; no CMS. Those were the days.

Heard Mentallity

...

Heard Mentallity (spelled incorrectly on purpose, of course) was a music blog I built for a good friend of mine. It was an insanely fun project at the time. Designed to look like a message board, it had all sorts of fun things like inline audio players, formatted RSS Feeds, and purpose-built Flash player that could be popped out for uninterrupted music while browsing the site.

Persephone on Stage

...

Persephone on Stage was another early website I built using no CSM. Nothing fancy, it just needed to serve up some simple info.

...

Another simple website (that seems to be down at the moment) built for an artist friend of mine. A simple gallery for showing off his work.
