Jason Cochran

Dear Hiring Team,

I am looking for a senior software engineering role where I can learn how a business operates, make the important tradeoffs clear, and stay close enough to implementation that the software works in production.

I bring 28 years of software engineering experience across enterprise web, mobile, cloud, integration, architecture, and production delivery. At Key Energy Services, I built ERP software with Ruby on Rails, Meteor, and Backbone, including a Rails API and an offline user interface, while remaining hands-on with delivery.

More recently at Servant, I delivered a NestJS and Next.js onboarding platform, moved production traffic from the legacy path, and completed the documentation and operational handoff. At Nutrien, I built offline-first React Native workflows for field representatives. At TxMQ, I delivered AngularJS and Ionic features and led an OpenAI research initiative as a distinct prototype and research track. At Verizon, I built a custom blockchain and JavaScript SDK integration for the AMC Walking Dead NFT experience.

My practical AI experience includes the TxMQ OpenAI research and prototypes, building the archived OpenClaw VPS personal project (no longer online), and using Claude Code, Cursor, and MCP servers throughout development. These projects and tools complement my production engineering background.

From February 2015 to November 2021, my work as a self-employed Web/Mobile Solutions Architect included varied client projects spanning custom websites, SaaS applications, and mobile solutions. I worked directly with clients to understand the workflow, choose a practical architecture, build the software, communicate tradeoffs, and leave behind a maintainable handoff.

I continue to learn through personal projects. I built OpenClaw VPS as a hosted control platform that let users provision and manage an OpenClaw AI assistant through a web dashboard. It was built with Bun, Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Convex and included authentication, billing, infrastructure provisioning, operational documentation, and automated quality checks. Work like this lets me test ideas across product, platform, security, and operations instead of staying inside one layer of the stack.

I bring a calm, hands-on engineering style. I can lead discovery, write the design, review the implementation, troubleshoot production issues, mentor engineers, and update the runbook afterward. My goal is architecture that helps people make better decisions and deliver dependable software—not an approval process that slows them down.

I would welcome a conversation about the problems your team is solving and where my experience can help.

Sincerely,
Jason Cochran
