Meet Jared Scott
Jared M. Scott
Software Engineer & Consultant
I'm an independent software engineer and consultant based in Taipei. Variable is my portfolio. It collects around two decades of work building SaaS products for B2B and B2C markets, mostly in AdTech, FinTech, and Health & Fitness. These days I work directly with US and international businesses as a contractor, joining customer engineering teams the same way a senior engineer on staff would.
My mission
Around two decades of building what matters
I work directly with customers to design and build web and mobile products. My focus is SaaS for B2B and B2B-to-B2C markets, with around two decades of experience architecting software across AdTech, FinTech, and Health & Fitness. I integrate into a customer's engineering team and build things that are functional, well-designed, and stay maintainable long after I'm gone.

Projects
Selected work
Recce OSS
I'm the top contributor to Recce, an open-source dbt data validation tool. I led the lineage model unification across OSS and Cloud, the snapdom screenshot consolidation, the MUI v9 upgrade, and the migration to pnpm 11 and Node 24.
Recce Cloud
Recce Cloud is the hosted SaaS version of Recce, running on AWS ECS Fargate with a FastAPI backend and CDK pipelines. I built the GitHub-to-ECS secrets pipeline, the HMAC-verified Slack receiver with idempotent event handling, and the ephemeral container lifecycle abstraction.
Recce Corporate Website
I work on reccehq.com, the corporate marketing site for Recce, built on Astro and Tailwind. I added BreadcrumbList and WebPage JSON-LD across 149 pages, wrote a 303-line opt-in cookie consent system that blocks all trackers until accept, and consolidated the brand off the legacy datarecce.io domain.
Recce Docs
I contribute to docs.reccehq.com, the documentation site for Recce, built on MkDocs Material. I shipped a 3-attempt retry loop for gh-deploy that handles GitHub's transient 500s, the .md-mirror plus JSON-LD infrastructure that lifted the a14y score into the 90s, and the migration from numbered to flat namespaces without a single 404.

Term Structure Admin Console
Led development of the Term Structure Admin Console, a management tool for protocol administrators. Built features for wallet tracking, protocol rollback, token management, system monitoring, and role-based access control. Worked with Product Managers and the CTO to define requirements and led a team of two developers.
