# 👋 Hi, I'm Jared
I’m a results-driven Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience building full stack web applications that serve millions of users. I focus on crafting high-performance, reliable systems and modernizing development workflows using **React**, **TypeScript**, **Node.js**, **Python**, **Ruby on Rails**, **AWS**, **Docker**, and **Terraform**.
Beyond professional work, I’m passionate about community and collaboration. As the founder of **[Code & Coffee Pittsburgh](https://www.meetup.com/code-and-coffee-pgh/)**, I organize monthly meetups that bring together over 1,800 developers to learn, share skills, and support one another in an inclusive environment.
Whether improving internal tools, enhancing user experiences, or architecting dependable infrastructure for large-scale systems, I work to design software that’s fast, maintainable, and a joy to use.

## 💻 Open-Source
Alongside my professional and community engagements, I am a **Volunteer Technical Contributor** at the **Wikimedia Foundation**. In this role, I work with the Quality and Testing Engineering Team to enhance testing coverage of the MediaWiki platform, notably used for Wikipedia and its related projects. My focus was on developing solutions that ensured robustness and reliability, underscoring my commitment to supporting open-source software and educational resources.
## 🤔 My Philosophy
I'm a lifelong learner, driven by the principles of [Deep Work](https://todoist.com/inspiration/deep-work) and the [Growth Mindset](https://www.renaissance.com/edword/growth-mindset/). Inspired by Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck, I believe that **"Effort is what makes you smart or talented."** This belief fuels my dedication to continuous improvement and tackling new challenges in the tech industry.
