About Jasondells

Ex-software engineer turned full-time dad and part-time educational policy nerd. Spent 15 years building scalable backend systems for big tech, now focused on scaling something more challenging: raising kids in a broken education system. Interested in AI ethics, decentralized education models, and tech’s role in solving (or worsening) inequality. Strong opinions loosely held. Based in Austin, TX.

Favorite book: "The Systems Bible" by John Gall Languages: Python, Go, sarcasm
