About
Hi! I'm Jared, a web developer and aspiring accessibility specialist. I kicked off my webdev career back in 2020 when I was part of a research team creating a web app for processing and visualizing biological data. That taste of web dev got me hooked, and I decided to pursue a career in the field after I graduated with a BS in computer science. Since then, I've worked with Sparkbox to create Accessible Components (a reference site that helps other web devs adhere to WCAG guidelines) and a React Native application for a client that I can't name (signed an NDA).
Sparkbox placed a lot of importance on creating accessible products, and that's a mindset I'm interested in cultivating and learning more about as I continue my career. I'd ultimately like to become a certified accessibility specialist and am working on the neccessary prerequsites.
Some of the technologies I've worked with professionally are:- Javascript & Typescript
- React
- React Native & Expo
- Next.js
- Redux
- Cypress, Jest
