About

I’m Jason Stanger, an IT lead and full-stack developer with 25+ years of experience across systems, networks, and web applications. I’ve built and supported reliable infrastructure on Windows and Linux, led migrations, and designed practical automation that keeps operations stable while reducing cost and errors. I’m especially focused on AWS environments, API integrations, and inventory workflows that connect the dots between order processing, stock updates, and supporting systems.

Over the past several years, I’ve led IT teams and delivered day-to-day administration for large endpoint environments, balancing hands-on engineering with coaching and cross-team coordination. From CloudFront-backed media/file management to security and PCI readiness, I work to ensure both performance and risk management are handled pragmatically. My background also includes networking fundamentals like VLAN/firewall design and disaster-recovery thinking with VMware.
