About

Hey there! You found me. I’m Jason.

🚀 Professional Journey

I currently engineer software at Google, where I focus on enhancing the ChromeOS personalization experience. I enjoy solving complex problems that impact millions of users daily.

Before Google, I spent time building and scaling platforms at several other technology companies:

• Amazon: Worked on advertising experimentation and private marketplace platforms.
• Nauto: Built backend services for fleet web and mobile applications.
• CastAR: Developed e-commerce and gaming platforms.
• Yahoo: Built content publishing and analytics tools.

Tech Interests: I enjoy making client applications more delightful and accessible, and love tinkering with with systems and infrastructures.

🏡 Life in San Jose

I live in San Jose, California, with my lovely wife Vy and our adorable mini goldendoodle, Yuna.

Our adorable companion, Yuna.

When I’m not behind a screen, you’ll likely find me outdoors. We love going on long walks, hiking through local trails, and exploring the city on foot.

🏃 Interests & Philosophy

• Mindfulness: I am an amateur practitioner of mindfulness and follow the Plum Village meditation teachings. I often write about my journey toward a more mindful life.
• Running: I love to run. I’ve progressed from short jogs to completing a full marathon. It’s my favorite way to clear my mind and stay resilient.
• Philosophy: I believe in treating people with consideration and respect, and I strive to live by that principle every day.

✍️ About This Blog

I spent a lot of time debating what should be on this homepage. Ultimately, I realized it can be anything and everything. This blog is a collection of my notes, technical deep-dives, and personal reflections.

There’s no single theme here; expect a healthy dose of randomness reflecting my work, life, and ever-changing interests.
