Hey, I'm Jaron

I build software for a living, but also other things.

Selected Work

Edlink: I've built many things I'm proud of at Edlink. Notably, the internal billing platform we use for our ~150 clients, a file ingestion engine that imports CSVs arbitrary format, client-embedded UI widgets, user onboarding flows, and a secure sandbox for running untrusted code with a live preview.

These days I lead some of our greenfield projects. I still get to write plenty of code though, which is how I like it.

Projects

  • Unicord: Discord bot SDK inspired by webserver architecture.

  • Mystwright: An AI-driven mystery detective game. Generate, investigate, solve.

  • Rift Buddy: Save, edit, and hot-swap rune pages alongside League of Legends.

About

I left school, my job, and moved to Austin in 2022 to write code full time. That was definitely one of the best and most life changing decisions I've ever made. I've learned a lot since then and still have much more to learn.

These days I build things because I find joy in making something someone else really enjoys using. I get excited about reaching a level of polish that users don't even notice.

In a time where code is cheap I pride myself in taste and execution. The best sticking point (in my limited opinion so far) is the way using your product feels. So I want everything I make to simply feel the best to use.

If you want to build something cool or connect hit me up — we'll grab a coffee or beer if you're in Austin! I still dont know enough people to form a band yet ;)
