๐Ÿ‘‹ Hi, I'm Jason

CEO and tech-fixer by day, MUD operator since 1992, "biker" on weekends

public class Jason : ICEOWhoActuallyCodes
{
    private readonly Coffee _fuel = new Coffee(Size.Venti, Shots.Quad);
    private readonly string _currentMission = "Dragging legacy code into the promised land";
    private readonly string _secretIdentity = "MUD operator, node wrangler, VPS whisperer";
    
    public string CurrentStatus => "Converting 15 years of technical debt into technical credit";
    public bool StillRunningMUDFrom1992 => true; // yes, really
}

๐Ÿš€ What I'm Up To

  • ๐Ÿ—๏ธ Leading the Great Migrationโ„ข - Taking Mortgage Automator from PHP to .NET (because apparently I enjoy pain)
  • ๐Ÿค– MCP Power User - Running Jira, HubSpot, and Slack MCP servers for cross-system analytics before most people could spell it
  • ๐ŸŒ Building Valdoria - An actual game world running on my VPS, because 30 years of MUD operation wasn't enough
  • ๐Ÿง  AI Nerds Community - Running a Discord for builders using AI as a force multiplier (not a replacement for thinking)
  • ๐Ÿ“ก Figma MCP + GitHub Copilot - Integrating the whole AI toolchain into a real .NET migration project (Maker Recast)
  • ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ KVM Enthusiast - Because why have one computer when your Dell U4025QW can handle two?

๐ŸŽฎ DarkWind MUD โ€” Running Since 1992

Not a typo. I've been operating a MUD for over 30 years. Now actively developing MudForge โ€” a modern Node.js/TypeScript MUD driver โ€” and building out Valdoria, a full game world with lore, narrators, and an atmosphere that GitHub Copilot definitely didn't write.

๐ŸŽฏ Current Side Quests

  • ๐Ÿ๏ธ Still researching Indian Challenger vs. Triumph Rocket 3 torque curves (it's science)
  • โ™ˆ Using astrology to optimize team compatibility (Aries energy in the C-suite, don't @ me)
  • ๐Ÿ” Designing AI-powered ad blocking that defeats anti-adblock detection (semantic classification FTW)
  • ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Navigating cross-border employment law, Ontario RIF procedures, and PE reporting simultaneously
  • ๐ŸŽ›๏ธ Raspberry Pi Sonos controller โ€” because why buy a solution when you can build one

๐Ÿค Let's Connect If...

  • You know the secret to migrating PHP to .NET without crying (or at least have good coping strategies)
  • You're a .NET developer who isn't scared of mortgage industry acronyms
  • You have opinions about MCP implementations โ€” especially the read-only kind, the only kind ready for non-technical rollout
  • You think running a MUD since 1992 is cool rather than concerning
  • You want to talk AI tooling strategy without the hype (Cursor vs. Claude vs. Amp โ€” I have data)
  • You're building something real with AI, not just prompting your way through life
  • You're interested in joining a Toronto tech team that's actually building something people use

๐ŸŽช Fun Facts

  • I've been running the same MUD since Bill Clinton's first term
  • I build AI-powered analytics dashboards connecting Jira support tickets to HubSpot ACV data, because someone has to
  • My Coolify VPS has survived more Let's Encrypt renewal cycles than I care to count
  • I once spent a weekend configuring a Raspberry Pi Sonos controller instead of just buying a Sonos app subscription
  • Yes, I have strong opinions about claude_desktop_config.json on Windows. No, I won't apologize.
  • Running an "AI Nerds" Discord while also running a 1992 MUD is perfectly normal behavior

"In a world of 'move fast and break things,' I prefer 'migrate carefully and fix things that have been broken since 2009'... ehhhh, who am I kidding? Sometimes you have to move fast and break things, too. And, doggonnit, it's fun!"

Currently hiring: If you can spell "dependency injection" and know why it matters, we should talk
