Technology decisions are hard.
Let's untangle it together.
25 years building technology at high-profile organizations like the U.S. White House, U.S. Department of Education, and Ed-Fi Alliance - among other commercial, government, and philanthropy-based clients. I've led teams of developers, negotiated $2M+ contracts, and built systems that scaled to serve millions. I'll give you clear options, honest trade-offs, and a confident path forward.
For CEOs, founders, and non-technical leaders who need technology guidance without the full-time hire. I respond within 24 hours.

What people say
"Jason solves technical education challenges through a comprehensive strategic approach. Over the past decade we have exchanged ideas in conversation and on panel discussions about his EdTech work. He has a voracious appetite for knowledge and works to continuously evolve the industry. His experiences and insights can quickly illuminate most topics in the field."
Adam Aronson
Head of Product | Scaled to 3x acquired, 1x IPO
"Jason was truly a pleasure to work with. From the get go, I knew Jason was incredibly passionate about his work and would take the time to explain information in a detailed, yet very understandable way. Jason is vigilant in seeking improvement and change in the Ed Tech field and a dedicated, hard worker. He's a great asset to have on any team that isn't afraid of pushing technology forward."
AJ Tatum
Senior .NET Engineer | Cloud & DevOps Architect
"As Regional IT Manager Jason had to orchestrate disparate state IT organizations into a working whole. Yet, he was always aware of unique issues relating to a specific state and was always available as a quick sounding board. Jason is a strong technologist, but to his credit, knows where his own understanding or time is limited and created an open, collegial group of IT Directors."
Paul Weinstein
Technologist | IT Operations Leader
"I contacted Jason as I was interested in how he implemented the Ideation tool at the Department of Education. Jason was very helpful in explaining how it was implemented and sharing the lessons learnt via a teleconference. He displayed good practical knowledge of how to implement an innovation program especially on a shoestring budget, and was able to show his helpful attitude and professionalism."
