Top SchoolJason Mcgwier is a founding principal and product-focused front-end architect with over a decade of hands-on experience building responsive, accessible, and high-performance web applications for nonprofits and creative organizations from Austin, Texas. He blends deep JavaScript and UI/UX expertise—React, Angular, PWAs, front-end architecture, and WCAG-compliant accessibility—with practical ops and security know-how honed running Papermud, a boutique data and cloud services shop. Jason has repeatedly translated complex business needs into maintainable front-end systems and reliable API integrations while emphasizing performance, cross-browser consistency, and testable code. He pairs entrepreneurial grit from co-founding Fog Street with a designer’s eye from early creative work, making him equally comfortable shipping production features or guiding product lifecycle decisions. Notably, his practice prioritizes the “70%” of making ingenuity work in real organizations—practical engineering that keeps services resilient when things go awry.
