I'm Jared Whittington, a passionate software engineer, UX designer, and people leader. With over a decade of profressional experience under my belt, I specialize in crafting intuitive user interfaces and building robust, scalable back-end systems that drive community and business success.

Leadership, for me, is about fostering teams that thrive on collaboration, empathy, and growth. I'm dedicated to creating environments where open communication flourishes and continuous learning is the norm.

In design, I lean into a deep understanding of user needs and behaviors, aiming to create seamless experiences that delight at every touchpoint.

expertise

Having over a decade of professional software development experience, I work efficiently with a number of front and backend web technologies. See below for more information.

front-end

With over 10 years of hands-on professional experience in front end development, I create reusable, reactive components, which are optimized for performance and user experience.

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { MatCardModule } from '@angular/material/card';
import { AuthService, Permission } from '../auth.service';

@Component({
    selector: 'wrrsi-contact',
    standalone: true,
    imports: [CommonModule, MatIconModule, MatButtonModule],
    templateUrl: './contact.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./contact.component.scss', '../shared.scss'],
})
export class ContactComponent implements OnInit {
    permissions?: Permission[];
    constructor(
        private authService: AuthService
    ) {}

    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.authService.refreshUserDetails();
        this.authService.permissions$.subscribe(res => this.permissions = res);
    }
}

back-end

Backend APIs with NodeJS, using TypeScript, NestJS, Apollo Server, E2E encryption, JWT authentication, and RBAC authorization for clean, efficient, secure and testable services.

import { Controller, Get } from '@nestjs/common';

@Controller('/content')
export class ContentController {
    constructor(
        private authService: AuthService
    ) {}

    @Throttle({ default: { limit: 3, ttl: 60000 } })
    @HasPermissions({name: PermissionName.ContentCreator}, {name: PermissionName.ContentApprover})
    @UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard, PermissionsGuard)
    @Get()
    getAllContent(@Request() req) {
        return this.contentSvc.getAllItems(req.user, undefined, true);
    }

    @HasPermissions({name: PermissionName.ContentCreator}, {name: PermissionName.ContentApprover})
    @UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard, PermissionsGuard)
    @Get(':id')
    getContentById(@Request() req, @Param() params: any) {
        return this.contentSvc.getItem(req.user, params.id, true);
    }
}

agentic ai

Whether it's experimenting with the latest hugging-face models or building production ready RAG tools using vector and graph databases with AWS Bedrock models, I build agentic AI workflows to supercharge systems.

import { StateGraph } from 'langgraph';
import { StateAnnotation } from './state/state';

function chat(message: string) {    
    const graph = new StateGraph(StateAnnotation)
        .addNode('planner', plannerNode)
        .addNode('executor', executorNode)
        .addNode('answer', answerNode)
        .addEdge(START, 'planner');
        .addConditionalEdges('planner', shouldRoute, ['planner', 'executor', 'answer'])
        .addEdge('executor', 'planner')
        .addEdge('answer', END)
        .compile();
      
    for await (const result of await graph.stream({
        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: message.human }]
    })) {
        if ('answer' in result) return result.answer
    }
}
