The name's Jason Gedge. I'm a problem solver, with software being my medium of choice. Naturally, that led me to becoming a software developer.

In 2011, I received my Master of Science degree in Computing Science from the University of Alberta . My research took me into the field of computer vision, perhaps one of the fields of research I find most interesting. I also enjoy dabbling in computer graphics, image processing, and computational photography. In a more general sense, I am a big fan of any problem that requires processing and/or producing visual data.

Outside of work, I also enjoy composing music and playing guitar. You'll see a cross between my interest in music and coding come out with my favourite personal project: Muzart . In 2015 I became interested in maintaining better health, so I became a runner. I've since ran several half marathons, and aim to exercise as much as possible (of course, with rest days). I grew up in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador .

These days I'm working at Gadget, building the next generation development environment (full stack and fully managed). I do a bit of everything there, often going where I'm most needed. Being the first full-time employee there has given me the opportunity to work on a huge variety of projects. Previously I worked at Shopify and YouTube, doing a little bit of everything, but with a lot of focus on developer productivity and software architecture.

If you happen to be interested in me and/or what I do, be sure to check me out on GitHub  or perhaps even some of my Tweeting  (although I don't do as much of that these days!).
