My name is Jason, a physicist turned software engineer from Bristol with a passion for physics, maths, and data visualisation.

I currently work for Count, building the next generation of data analytics software. We’re currently hiring senior engineers to work on our Typescript/WebGL/React application – check out the roles here: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/count

I host a (slightly outdated) public CV here, and my PhD thesis is publicly available here.
