I'm Jerred Shepherd


I'm a software engineer at Posit, PBC

I’m a software engineer. I have a particular passion for programming languages, infrastructure, and developer tools. Some of my favorite languages are Rust, Haskell, TypeScript, and Java (strictly for sentimental reasons).

I’m studying at Georgia Tech to pursue a Masters in Computer Science (OMSCS). This semester (Spring 2024) I’m taking Compilers and Software Analysis.

I’m a fan of free software and a supporter of open source.

I’m very active on GitHub, so you can check that out if you’re curious about what I’ve been working on. My résumé has a bit more of a complete view of my background.

My non-computer-related interests include rock climbing, cooking, cats, and reading.
