Engineer, builder, tinkerer.
I'm Jaron — a software engineer with 9+ years of professional experience shipping useful applications across startups, internal business tools, EdTech, logistics, e-commerce, and cloud infrastructure.
I'm at my best in the messy middle: a real business problem, a half-baked spec, a stack that needs a few decisions made. I like turning that into something stable, fast, and easy to keep running.
Off the clock I build side projects — AI tools, IoT gadgets, generative art — mostly to keep learning, occasionally because they're actually useful.
Where I've worked
How I work
Self-learning
I pick up new stacks, languages, and domains quickly — and enjoy the ramp-up.
Performance-minded
Query plans, render paths, and bundle sizes matter. Slow software is broken software.
Pragmatic engineering
I choose boring, proven tools when they fit. Novelty is earned, not assumed.
Clean UI
Clarity and restraint over decoration. Good UI lets the work speak.
Systems thinking
I design for the whole pipeline — UI, API, queues, storage, ops — not just the layer in front of me.
Write it down
I leave the README, the comment, the runbook. Future me (and you) will thank me.
