About Me

Developing With a Passion While Exploring The World.

I’m Jason Israilov, a recent graduate from Michigan State University with a major in Computer Science and minor in Cybersecurity. My interest in computer science began in middle school as a beginner programmer when I wrote my first line of code that printed the infamous “Hello, World” text on the screen.

Fast-forward to today, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have lots of experience working  many different roles such as a software cybersecurity engineer,  a web developer, and a site reliability engineer to name a few.

With my strong technological background and entrepreneurial bug, I am determined to change the world.
I am highly passionate about working and collaborating on innovative ideas with teams to create products that improve people’s quality of life.
