Summary
Jason Rushton is a senior front-end engineer with over two decades of hands-on web development experience and 12 years in professional roles, combining deep full-stack knowledge with a focus on modern client-side apps. He led a major migration from a legacy Ember/REST stack to React/Redux/GraphQL at BusyBusy, owning framework selection, core architecture, and CI tooling. Jason founded and ran The Local Network, evolving hobby projects into production sites and porting systems from ColdFusion to Node and React—demonstrating both entrepreneurial drive and practical modernization skills. Earlier in his career he built one of the company’s first single-page applications, owning UI, back-end, APIs, reporting, and server optimizations, which shaped his end-to-end perspective. Based in Saint George, UT, he pairs a visual communications background with pragmatic engineering, and still enjoys tinkering with build tooling and developer workflows that make complex SPAs maintainable.
