G'day! I'm Jason Hutchens.

I'm an engineer specialising in startups, web development, game design and AI.
I ❤️ Ruby, Vue and C, and have also worked professionally with JS, Python, C++ and Java.
I love Terry Pratchett and They Might Be Giants too 😀
I work on interesting things 100% remotely from Perth, Western Australia.
