About
Me

Hi, I'm Jason.

I specialized in backend engineering and infrastructure at Datadog and Disney, where I helped build and maintain systems used by millions of people. My work spanned developer tooling, cloud infrastructure, and the monitoring and automation that kept services reliable at scale.

I'm drawn to the quiet layers of systems and code that hold everything together without anyone noticing. When I'm not shipping code, I'm usually behind a camera, traveling somewhere with bad cell service, playing an instrument, or overengineering my homelab.
