About
Hello! I'm Jason Hoekstra, a Fractional CTO and Technology Leader passionate about building impactful software and scaling engineering teams. With over 25 years in the tech industry, I've had the privilege of working across diverse sectors including government, education, and non-profits. My journey has been driven by a desire to innovate, solve complex problems, and foster environments where technology truly makes a difference.
I specialize in guiding organizations through digital transformation, implementing robust cybersecurity strategies, and optimizing data interoperability. Whether it's leading cloud migrations, managing multi-million dollar budgets, or aligning cross-functional stakeholders, my goal is always to deliver solutions that are not just technically sound, but also strategically aligned with business objectives.
My Philosophy
I believe in a collaborative and human-centered approach to technology leadership. For me, it's not just about the code or the infrastructure; it's about empowering people, fostering clear communication, and building sustainable systems that evolve with changing needs. I'm a strong advocate for continuous learning, transparency, and creating a culture of excellence.
Beyond the Code
When I'm not diving deep into architectural diagrams or strategizing about the next big project, you might find me exploring the vibrant tech community in Austin, TX, enjoying the outdoors, or spending time with my family. I'm a firm believer in work-life integration and drawing inspiration from diverse experiences.
