i'm jason, a software programmer working on ai research for quantitative trading, developing the social media platform sorter, and contributing to ndaexpress & snackers. my preference has subtly shifted to typescript, but i believe the tool isn't the solution—what matters is what you're building. as long as you've made it to mvp, we can iterate later.

in the past, i've worked with cadence design systems on vlsi optimization software and designed e-commerce sites. beyond coding, i enjoy writing and playing music (guitar, bass, synth, piano, drums). always open to new opportunities!
