Portrait of Jared Welch

Hi, I'm Jared

I write about software, learning, and building useful things.

Iā€™m a software developer who works on cloud applications, automation, backend systems, and small web products. This site is my home base for things I write, make, and learn in public.

Lately Iā€™m building Penny Penguin, a friendlier personal finance tool.
