Welcome
Hi. My name is Jason. I’m a software engineer.
I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in December 2002 and worked at CombineNet, a Pittsburgh-based software company, from January 2003 to May 2006. In May 2006 I moved from Pittsburgh to Seattle and began working as a software engineer for Amazon.com. For more information, see my resume.
I grew up in Syosset, New York, on Long Island, and attended Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. More info in About Me.
I’ve been to many places besides Syosset, Pittsburgh, and Seattle. See my older photos (up to 2005) and my newer ones (from 2006 on). Also check out Weill in Japan, my travelogue from a six-week study abroad and homestay program in Tokyo in 2002, which includes hundreds of photos and thousands of words from the trip.
In 2001 I wrote Livestat, a Perl system for tracking statistics for quiz bowl games. Livestat is available freely and has been used to track many events years after I finished work on the most recent version.
If you’re here for my commentary on life and its little foibles, you can read Weill Aspects for my writings from 1998–2005 or Fragments for writings from 2006 and onward.
In my spare time I’m a Contributing Editor for my friend Alex Billington’s movie reviews, which appear on FirstShowing.net. FirstShowing.net is a movie enthusiast site that stresses the experience of going to the theater, especially on opening night for a brand new film.
Thanks for stopping by!
