Jason was our founding engineer and honestly, I don't know how we would've hit Product Hunt Top 3 without him. He led the migration from React Native to Next.js, built our entire design system, and set up CI/CD that actually worked. More than that, he understood the product vision and made technical decisions that supported our growth. Working with Jason felt like having a co-founder who happened to be an incredible engineer.
