Summary
Jason Musser is an Android developer with 10+ years of experience building consumer and IoT mobile apps and their cloud backends, currently maintaining Parts Town’s Kotlin/Java eCommerce app. He has shipped commercial products across iOS and Android—ranging from a successful paid music-teaching app family (Note Prompter, 10k+ purchases) to Alexa-integrated First Alert OneLink and connected-device apps using AWS IoT. Comfortable spanning mobile, embedded connectivity (BLE, NFC, LoRa), and server-side stacks (Ruby on Rails, Node, AWS Lambda/API Gateway), Jason pairs hands-on engineering with product and program management. He’s worked at startups through corporate exits (Novarra → Nokia) and has led features from wireframe to release for both B2C and hardware-integrated products. Unusually, he’s also a published musician with multiple albums, which informed his creation of a niche MIDI-driven practice app that still generates revenue.
