Hire the Best Musicians in Seattle, WA

I'm a high-energy, self-driven professional with a uniquely diverse background — from managing a solo music business, to working internationally, backpacking through Europe and South America, and living life on the road in a converted bus. That path has made me exceptionally adaptable, reliable, and resourceful in ways that show up in every project I take on. On Upwork, I bring that same "stay busy, stay sharp" mindset to a wide range of freelance work. I'm a strong communicator, detail-oriented, and committed to delivering quality — whether that's on-camera presenting, content creation, market research, writing, or client-facing work of any kind. A few things that define how I work: I'm a lifelong learner who constantly challenges my own thinking through podcasts, media, and real-world experience. I hold myself to a high standard of professionalism — a discipline sharpened by years of being able to support myself through entrepreneurial endeavors and gig work.

Hey, My name is Jason! I'm a spirited full-stack software with a broad spectrum of talents. I've spent more than half of my life coding in some capacity or another, and for over 20 years I designed, built and launched dozens upon dozens of production ready web projects. The last few years have had me refocus my attention toward agentic AI development and I'm loving it! I'm a Jack-of-all-trades and it turns out that developing AI agents is a beautiful intersection of all the skills I've grown and cultivated over the last couple of decades! Let my hard-earned experience benefit your project! Reach out and tell me how I can help you accomplish your goals for your own agentic system! The non-nerd TL;DR ---- If you're a small business looking for an experienced developer with a proven track record for getting the job done and with excellent communication and productivity skills, you've probably come to the right place! I have over 20 years of web development and as I have pivoted into the newly emerging AI application development space, I've found that the soft-skills that dominated web development are absolutely necessary for building AI systems that someone can be proud of. Whether it's building and tying a frontend into an already established agent, troubleshooting and debugging an existing agent, buliding an agent from scratch or helping you design and build a schema/pipeline or tools to inform agent decisions, I can help you accomplish your goals on-time! The Juicy Parts ---- Most of my work in the last 20 years has been web development. I'm a very experienced web developer and server administrator. I build highly-available, resilient and secure distributed applications, including and especially AI agents. Preferred Work - **Langchain/Langgraph Agent Development** - Much of agent design and agent logic is fundamentally about establishing processes and tools that allow an agent to accomplish a set of tasks. I've built both DAG and cyclic graphs for agents with dozens of retrieval and processing tools to enable agents to accomplish their goals with as few wasted seconds or tokens as possible. - **Front-end Design and Creative** - Most AI agents require some sort of UI to interact with the user. I've tried out and implemented several different front-ends including for chat-bots, document preprocessing, and interactive AI systems. I can build you intuitive, clean and responsive frontends with token streaming, asynchronous calls and human-in-the-middle interface paradigms. - **Maintenance/On-call Retainers** - If you need continued long-term support or assistance for your project intermittently, I also provide my services on retainer. Most experienced with: - Langchain/Langgraph, Haystack, CopilotKit, n8n - Server Administration (*NIX, VPS, Docker) - Python, JS/TS, PHP, SQL and so many more... - A variety of cloud based systems (Google Cloud, AWS, etc.) - APIs (GraphQL, AG-UI, MCP, AJAX, REST, etc...) I'm not just a code-monkey slopping code into your repo. I have over two decades of experience managing my own projects including the server environment and configuration. I can help you design, build and deploy your project, start to finish, that you can maintain and improve. From ideation, to design, construction, and deployment, I can help you build your dream AI application. I've worked with every single step of the process and can navigate you through the pitfalls, unnecessary costs and snake-oil that you will almost certainly encounter along the way. AI Coding Considerations ---- I will happily use AI coding tools you provide, but require that I review and approve all generated changes manually. I will not help you manage or write AI slop. No exceptions, sorry. Other ---- As a well-rounded geek, it's inevitable that I end up with my fingers in multiple cookie jars over the years. I have passion for and have done personal projects over the years in other fields such as: - Video production - Game development - Visual Effects and AV post-processing - 3D Animation and modeling - Audio Engineering and sound design - Music Production (Production and Mastering) - Data Analysis (Python) - Photo Manipulation and Editing Misc Talents - I **LOVE** math! If I wasn't a programmer, I would have my head buried in differential equations and integrals all day. - Fluent Spanish speaker (Viví en Chile por dos años y aprendí el Éspañol mientras que estuve allí.) - I'm a musician write music in my freetime. - I can probably kick your butt in a round of Mario Smash Brothers Melee My earliest programming memory is of my father teaching me procedural programming logic with Q-Basic on an old MS-DOS machine at about age 10. When I was 16, I built and maintained my first site. If you got this far, there must have been something that you liked, so just shoot me a short message letting me know you'd like to talk and I'll connect with you as soon as possible!
