A Software Engineer who can work with anyone
9 years building and shipping internal and customer-facing software, across engineering and product.
About Me
Hey there! I’m Jared Konarska.
I've worked as a software engineer and as a product manager, in SaaS, healthcare, e-commerce, and now energy. I'm happiest when I'm close to the technical details and close to the people the work is for.
I embrace the mess
I’m often pulled into work where requirements are half-formed and ownership isn’t clear. My first move is aligning on what problem we’re actually solving, what’s in or out of scope, and what the team can realistically ship next.
I start by shipping small
I always try to focus on shipping the smallest useful version, watching how it’s used, and letting real constraints shape what comes next, rather than recklessly swinging for the fences every time.
I go as deep as the work needs
I’m comfortable in the details: edge cases, data shape, how a system actually behaves. I’m just as comfortable in the room with the business side or the customer, and I usually end up translating between them.
I focus on impact, not output
The work I’m proudest of usually removes steps, errors, or manual work. I care more about making the system better than checking a box.
