Portrait of Jasper Staats

Expertise.

How I can help you succeed

๐Ÿงฉ

System Architecture

Untangling tech knots is my superpower! I build systems that are both beautiful AND functional - because who says code can't be art?

๐Ÿš€

Project Leadership

I lead projects with passion and a bit of humor. Whether it's a small feature or a complete overhaul, I make sure we have fun while building something amazing.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿซ

Code Quality & Mentoring

I believe in creating code so clean you could eat off it! And I love helping others level up their skills - teaching is where I get to share my dad jokes.

๐ŸŒฑ

Team Growth

I create spaces where everyone can experiment, learn, and occasionally fail spectacularly (that's where the best lessons come from). Growth should be fun!

Experience.

Why Work With Me.

What makes me different

๐Ÿค–

Modern Development

I embrace new tools and AI like a kid with new toys - always excited to find ways to make our work more efficient and, honestly, more fun!

๐Ÿ‘ฅ

People First

Great software comes from happy teams. I'm the guy bringing snacks to code reviews and making sure everyone's voice is heard.

๐Ÿ’ก

Thoughtful Solutions

I don't just solve problems - I craft solutions with personality. Technical excellence doesn't have to be boring!

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

Clear Communication

I translate tech-speak into human language, using analogies, jokes, and occasionally interpretive dance if necessary.

โœจ

Code Quality

I'm that person who gets genuinely excited about elegant code. Yes, I've been known to celebrate particularly beautiful functions!

๐ŸŽฏ

Team Enablement

I create environments where people can do their best work while actually enjoying themselves. Work should bring joy!
