Hi there! I'm Jared Rand. Welcome to my website.

I'm a Toronto-based developer and I love to teach and learn.

I've worked as a Teaching Assistant (twice), a Research Assistant (once), a Full-Stack Developer, a Front-End Developer (with a sprinkling of backend work), and even as a courier!

I'm also very active creatively. I love to write, draw, play ukulele, and run Dungeons & Dragons games (I even started the Dungeons & Dragons club at Toronto Metropolitan University!) I've written a novel, dabbled in stand-up (I've got a video of it somewhere on YouTube), and I'm obsessed with finding good music.

Reach out to me if you want to know more, or even just to chat.

Have fun checking out my website!

Everything on this website was drawn, built, coded, and/or designed by me, including the game above and the engine that runs it.

My goal with this website was to introduce people to who I am and showcase some of my skills. I hope this website, and the game above, accomplish that, or at least let you have a bit of fun while looking me up.

All of the website code is available on my GitHub profile, where I will also soon post a generalized version of the game engine. I hope these can be useful in the future.
