Welcome to the Playground

Hello, my name is Jared Sulzdorf, and this is my playground.

This small, spunky website is dedicated to exploring new technologies, tinkering with toy projects, and in general, just playing around. If you're curious, you can read more about what's going on under the hood or just check out the source on GitHub.

Feel free to explore some of the sandboxes below and if you have any questions or just want to chat, my blog's contact page should point you in the right direction
