About Me

A bit about who I am and what I do.

Jaren Kempton

I'm a full stack developer who genuinely enjoys understanding how things work under the hood. Whether it's a new framework, a tricky bug, or an entirely unfamiliar problem — I like digging in and figuring it out. Most of my work comes down to finding ways to simplify things and make people's lives a little easier, whether that's through the tools I build or the code I write.
