About Me
Hi all👋 I’m Jason!
I’m Jason Israilov (he/him), a recent graduate from Michigan State University with a major in Computer Science and minor in IT Security Management. My interest in computer science began in middle school as a neophyte programmer when I wrote my first line of code that printed the infamous “Hello, World” text on the screen.Â
Fast-forward to today, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have lots of experience working many different roles such as co-founding a software development company, being a web developer, and a site reliability engineer to name a few.

I am highly passionate about working and collaborating on innovative ideas with teams to create products that improve people’s quality of life.
Work Experience
I am an aspiring software engineer with experiences in software development, privacy, and cybersecurity along with my coursework.
Co-Founded, Empyre Webs, a software development company based in Detroit managing over 20 clients in various industries by developing customized websites with an in-house CMS platform to decrease development timelines and increase visitor traffic by over 42% on Google Analytics.

Aspiring Software Engineer
Along with my skills, I have experience in both frontend and backend development.Â
Noteworthy Projects
One of my proudest achievement was presenting to the school board of the West Bloomfield Board of Education advocating for cleaner energy in the district. After over two years of hard work together with the EARTH Club, we were able to secure a 20kW Solar Array for the West Bloomfield High School with $0 up-front investment requests!  With generous donations, endless fundraising, and grant scholarships we were able to raise $55k of funding and give the West Bloomfield School Board a break-even point is instant with the guarantee of reduced costs and carbon emissions from day one.
Since it was installed in September 2019, the solar array has generated over 34 MWh of energy and saved over 51,300 pounds of CO2 emissions! Check out the 20kW array live data feed for the most up to date numbers.

Jason is one of the most promising students that I have encountered in my career. He has proven to be an amazing, dedicated, tireless and inspirational leader of the WBHS E.A.R.T.H. club, and under his leadership the club has achieved some truly amazing feats.
I have worked extensively with Jason in many contexts.
