About Me

Hello. My name is Jason, and I craft engaging digital experiences from my humble home in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where I live with my beautiful wife and two boys.

Prior to Kalamazoo, I spent an extended period of time just outside of Tokyo, Japan developing a myriad of digital goods for US, Australian, and Japanese audiences. Some of my past work has been for Pirelli Japan, the Australian Roads and Traffic Authority, and the Kellogg Company.

I’m a freelance programming gun for hire, specializing in native software development for iOS and Android. If you’re interested in working with me, please get in touch.
