Currently, I am an Associate Technology Manager at Maxxton where I mentor engineers, do product planning and development.
Jason Michael
Associate Technology Manager at Maxxton

I’m a software engineer, manager, mentor, problem solver, lifelong student, gamer, and full-time geek.
My first brush with code was in the 7th grade, guiding a little triangle called the “Turtle” across the screen with BASIC and Logo. I didn’t know it then, but that triangle sparked a curiosity that’s still going strong. Since then, I’ve explored everything from HTML and Java in school to PHP and C++ in college — eventually finding my way back to the web, where I now build clean, accessible interfaces (and occasionally break things just to learn how they work).
These days, I focus on thoughtful engineering — whether it’s crafting intuitive, accessible UIs, improving performance, or running self-hosted experiments on my home server. I’ve also found myself mentoring more lately — not necessarily in a formal way, but by helping teammates debug tricky problems, reviewing code, and supporting where I can.
Outside work, video games have been a constant in my life — not just as a hobby, but as a space that’s shaped my curiosity, creativity, and the way I think about systems. I also spend time on board games, productivity experiments, and occasionally fall down rabbit holes about hardware, workflows, or terminal customization.
This site is my digital playground — a space to share what I’m working on, learning, or obsessed with. Sometimes code, sometimes ideas. Always me.
