About Me

Passionate full-stack developer with a love for creating exceptional digital experiences

My Journey

Hello! I'm Jason, a passionate full-stack developer with over 6 years of experience building full-stack web applications for small startups to unicorn sized companies. My journey in technology started during my college years when I discovered the power of code to solve real-world problems.

I specialize in modern web technologies, with extensive experience in React (Next.js), Node.js, GraphQL, Microservices, and various other technologies, architectures and frameworks. I'm particularly passionate about creating scalable applications with excellent user experiences, clean architecture, and maintainable code.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me working out, walking my dog, or planning my next adventure.
