ABOUT ME
FAST AWS/Linux emergencies, scaling, automation, security & migrations
FAST AWS/Linux emergencies, scaling, automation, security & migrations

Production systems fire fighter - there is nothing I cannot debug.

I will not do your homework.

Member of Mensa & Intertel, backwoods enthusiast. Human languages for fun, programming languages for breakfast. I left Detroit in the Dot-Com era to live deep in a north woods cabin w/my animal family.

I solve my own problems with grace and efficiency. I'll be happy to solve yours!

My five most valuable skills:

  • Anticipation (of variables and user expectations)
  • Debugging
  • Machine logic
  • Problem solving
  • Versatility

These skills when applied to any challenge, design or technology stack, have consistently produced efficient and reliable results across an unlimited technology stack since childhood.

What I enjoy most about Code Mentor:

Utilizing my unique skill set to solve a diverse set of challenging critical issues for people in a bind. My most satisfying sessions solve very difficult and unique situations for those who have already exhausted their available human and intellectual resources.

FAQ

  • No, I am not a robot. But my bots might be one day.
  • No, I will not travel anywhere , unless you provide a space ship or parachute.
  • I try to make a record of all changes and be able to revert them quickly, but it is your responsibility to archive responsibly

Coding with Meteor makes me giggle with glee. I can do it with my eyes closed and I love every minute.. except for the ones waiting for meteor-tool to do whatever it's always doing.

Jason really helped us deep dive into a critical issue that had stumped us for days. With his help I have a lot more confidence in, not only what we need to do to prevent similar issues from happening again BUT ALSO recommendations for longer term resiliency into our system.

I had the pleasure of working with Jason on configuring AWS and deploying Docker containers. His expertise and dedication were outstanding. Jason demonstrated a deep understanding of AWS and Docker. He guided me through configuring the ECS tasks and quickly resolved any issues. His clear instructions and practical solutions made the deployment process smooth and efficient. Jason was always available to answer questions and provide support. His professionalism made a complex task manageable. I highly recommend Jason for any AWS and Docker container needs.
