Jared Reich is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building polished front-end experiences and reliable web systems, currently at Stripe and based in Lacombe, Alberta. He moved from electrical and instrumentation roots into software engineering, bringing a pragmatic, systems-minded approach informed by a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and a technical diploma. Jared has a strong front-end focus and is the creator of lightweight, dependency-free JavaScript tools like pell (a minimal WYSIWYG editor) and notie (clean notification and input UI), demonstrating attention to UX detail and small, maintainable codebases. His work history spans fast-paced product companies including GoDaddy and Trōv, where he shipped features and refactored core UI logic to improve usability and accessibility. Known for refining editor behaviors, scrollbar and tab handling, and input components, he enjoys solving subtle UI/UX problems that often go unnoticed until they’re fixed. Jared combines disciplined engineering practices with a knack for simple, elegant front-end solutions that scale in real-world products.
