Hi, I'm Jason, a senior frontend engineer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I build web applications with a focus on React, TypeScript, accessibility, design systems, and interactive experiences. For more than a decade, I've worked across startups, agencies, museums, and creative technology, building everything from AI-assisted tools and collaborative applications to WebAR experiences, 3D editors, touchscreen installations, and data-rich interfaces.

Frontend is my specialty, but I like getting involved wherever there's an interesting problem to solve. I work comfortably with application architecture, APIs, data modeling, and performance optimization, and I enjoy working closely with designers and product teams to figure out how an idea should (or could) actually work.

Outside of work, I love connecting with the weird and wonderful systems that shape the natural world through computational design, digital fabrication, and ceramic sculpture. You'll usually find me mushroom hunting and exploring natural areas across Minnesota and the Upper Peninsula, volunteering with my local mycological society, working on sculptures at a community pottery studio, or tending to my microforest yard.

Here are a few of my favorite projects and collaborations:

  • Teaching workshops on circuit bending and building DIY synthesizers to young adults through SOUNDRY, an educational outreach component of the Omaha Under the Radar Festival.
  • Collaborating with and providing creative technology guidance and support to nationally- and internationally-recognized fine artists through the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art in Omaha, NE. Collaborators included Emilie Baltz, Di Mainstone, and others.
  • Designing and teaching a course called "How to Build Almost Anything" at Nebraska's first and only FabLab.
  • Presenting my work at Maker Faire: Kansas City and the Open Hardware Summit hosted at MIT.
  • Developing open-source assistive technology projects such as openSip+Puff, Eyewriter 2.1 and lessons on using the MaKey MaKey as assistive technology.
  • Designing and teaching the University of Nebraska at Kearney's first ever semester-long course about creative coding and physical computing to a group of fellow undergraduate students, culminating in a fun, well-attended public exhibition of student projects.
