Snapshot · Human Readable

Software engineer skilled in various programming languages (see below). Effective in both team-based and self-managed projects; dedicated to maintaining up-to-date industry knowledge and IT skills through continuing education.

C64s, floppy disks, and dial-up bulletin boards were his playground. As a teenager, he even ran his own BBS, wiring together modems and phone lines so other geeks could dial in, trade files, and talk late into the night. That same energy never stopped—today it’s directed into clean architecture, calm debugging, and rock-solid systems.

Jeret is incredibly honest and detail-oriented. He wants nothing more than to show just how deep his tech skills go—and to keep learning new ones. He’s the kind of program lead you want on the hard problems: patient, thorough, and stubborn in all the right ways.
