About
Hi, I'm Jason! I'm a Tech Lead at OfferZen with a background in full-stack development and education. I'm based in Cape Town, South Africa 🌍
I initially started my career in education before moving into IT and finally software development. I spent 6+ years as a full-stack developer, mostly working with PHP (Laravel) on the backend and a variety of JavaScript frameworks (React, Svelte, Vue.js) on the frontend. I'm currently working as a tech lead, which I find to be the perfect mix of technical and people skills.
