About

Jason Marsh, headshot portrait

I'm Jason - Director of Technology at an assistive technology & older adult services nonprofit in Duluth, Minnesota, with 13+ years in IT. I manage infrastructure, lead assistive technology services, and run an AT lending library. The people we serve are older adults, people with disabilities, and anyone who needs help navigating technology. I hold an Assistive Technology Applications Certificate from CSUN.

I also build and maintain production software outside of that role. A meal planning app with AI-powered recipe adaptation. An AT discovery tool that matches people with assistive technology. An automated pet feeder on a Raspberry Pi. A radio streaming app built for accessibility and deployed to older adults at my organization. A voice-to-notes pipeline that turns spoken memos into structured Markdown. Node.js, SQLite, and vanilla JavaScript for most of it, Python for machine learning and automation.

I've been fascinated with computers since I was a kid - learned to fix them because I broke them. Art and design started in my teens, which led to a B.S. in Game Art & Design, then time as a concept artist doing noir-style western illustrations. Software came through years of self-teaching after that. The whole path still shapes how I work: I think visually, I design for the person using the thing, and I see projects through from architecture to interface.

How I build

I orchestrate, AI implements. Most of what's here - the production apps, this site, the project pages - I build by working through Claude Code in the terminal. I make the calls on architecture, design, and tradeoffs; I read what comes back, test it, and send it back when it's wrong. It's still programming - the leverage changed, the judgment and the responsibility didn't. More on how the site is built.
