Digital Technology Manager

A UH alum, Jared Counts was hired part-time at KUHF Radio in early 2003, bouncing between departments until being hired full-time as a web developer in February 2007. He currently manages the front- and back-end of this website (including the WordPress plugin that runs this staff directory), as well as our streaming and various other digital properties.

He is currently:

  • furthering his knowledge of WordPress, PHP, CSS, and Javascript
  • improving his skills with object-oriented programming and PHP frameworks
  • researching how to use the :has() selector and container queries in CSS
