Technology & operations
Better systems.
Stronger operations.
I’m Jason Weber. I help organizations improve how work gets done—with practical technology decisions, clearer processes, and useful software.
Business experience. Technical curiosity. Hands-on ownership.
01 / Selected work
A few examples.
Upstart LP
Bringing legacy data back to work.
Backed up at-risk data, restored its use through a virtual machine, and migrated it to a new format.
Roost Atlas
Making camping research useful.
Built a live camping atlas that brings map browsing, practical filters, and source information together.
02 / Work with me
Good work starts
with a conversation.
A role to take ownership of, or a specific problem to work through. Here’s where my experience can help.
For organizations hiring
Technology &
operations leadership.
Connecting business needs, technical decisions, and the people doing the work.
- Day-to-day systems and process improvement
- Technology planning and implementation
- Clear communication across technical and operational teams
For a specific challenge
Consulting &
practical software.
Bring a workflow, an aging system, or an idea that needs a useful next step.
- Workflow review → priorities and a practical plan
- Systems assessment → options and recommendations
- Focused software → a tool built around the actual work
03 / A little background
An unconventional path.
A practical perspective.
I’ve worked in kitchens, classrooms, investment technology, and industrial operations. Each setting taught me something about people, systems, and taking responsibility.
Running a private-chef business meant owning the whole process, from the first conversation to the final invoice. Teaching philosophy meant making difficult ideas understandable. Today, I bring that same attention to technology and operations.
Outside work, I explore deserts, make photographs, write, and build tools for the field. That work lives at Mr. Crowmeister ↗.
