Top SchoolJared Rand is a Canadian-born software engineer based in Seattle with 10 years of experience building production systems, developer tools, and consumer-facing products. As a founding developer at Opal and previously a senior engineer at STRIVR and Top Hat, he combines hands-on implementation with product-minded leadership—leading pods, improving service reliability from ~80% to 99.8%, and shipping AI-powered and VR content tools. He has full‑stack chops across TypeScript/React, backend microservices, and computer vision/ML pipelines, and has migrated legacy systems to modern languages like Rust. Jared co-founded a startup that raised angel funding from an initial prototype, and contributed to academic ML research published at ICSE. He prioritizes accessibility and intuitive UX alongside performant, well-documented systems, and often drives onboarding and documentation improvements that reduce bugs and ramp new engineers faster. Pragmatic and curious, he blends startup grit with experience scaling services used by hundreds of thousands of learners.
