Summary
Jason Sikes is a Software Architect in Portland, Oregon with eight years of professional experience and over a decade building the open-source QLogo Logo implementation in C++, OpenGL, and Qt. He designs multi-threaded, accessible programming environments inspired by UCBLogo while bringing systems-level expertise from roles at SUSE, Rentrak, and Laser Materials where he worked across C/C++, Python, Perl, SQL, and Objective-C++ on Linux and macOS. Jason excels at turning hardware-facing control systems and high-volume data processing pipelines into robust, maintainable software, and he favors pragmatic architectures that balance performance with usability. His background in computer science (BSCS) and long-running stewardship of QLogo reflect a rare blend of graphics, language runtime design, and applied systems engineering.
