About

Hey There 👋

__

I’m Jason, a project/product manager, entrepreneur, and recovering software engineer. I currently do freelance work and advisory for SMBs, but have previously been involved in large-scale projects and product development in the automotive and mobility sectors. My biggest passion is combining creativity with emerging tech to facilitate product and organizational innovation.

I've developed a broad skillset over the years, from software engineering and architecture to product development and project management, which allows me to approach problems from a unique perspective. While I do celebrate the classic pillars of project/product management and traditional approaches to growth and innovation, I’m not afraid to take novel approaches to business strategy and growth where appropriate. If you'd like to work together and see more of that, you know where to find me!

Quick Facts About Me

I moved from Indiana (where I was born and raised) to Michigan in 2022. After the move, I worked as a technical project manager and product owner in the automotive industry.

After college, I moved to Tianjin, China where I taught and prepped students for university in the US & UK. I've since traveled to 5/7 continents.

I started and operated a consulting business from 2017 - 2021. When the Covid-19 lockdown went into effect, I decided to turn hobby coding into a formal degree.

My work these days focuses on utilization and integration of emerging technologies in project and product management, focusing mainly on AI and Web3.

In 2025, I left corporate to help out with my family's construction company and work on a Web3 project (coming soon!) that's been bouncing around in my head for years.

I like to spend my free time running, reading, playing pickleball, hiking, and going to the dog park with my shepherd/lab mix, Cora.

Case Study: Digital Transformation in Automotive R&D

Testing facilities at one of "The Big Three" automakers needed a way to centralize and monitor data that was stored on various databases, Excel files, Sharepoints, etc.

To accomplish the needs of lab supervisors, it was imperative that traditional project management practices were blended with product design and development.

The Solution

The Challenge

Additionally, each facility was focused on different areas of automobile testing and therefore had different datasets; this necessitated a bespoke approach to digitization and technical development.

The project successfully linked data with business objectives, consistently reduced complexity for business leaders, and established a repeatable framework for digitization across multiple facilities.

The major challenge here was not simply managing a project; it was architecting a product ecosystem that could translate complex data into actionable strategic insights valuable to the entire organization and specific testing labs.

Rigorous product requirements and roadmaps were put in place to ensure integrity and scalability, and more importantly, to ensure that the centralized digitization was a high-fidelity source of truth.
