Jason R Chandonnet is a software engineer with over 15 years of professional experience. While working full-time, he completed his master's degree in computer science. He was an inventor on several patents and started an independent website development and hosting business. He also spent many years on the board of Rebuilding Together Lowell, a non-profit organization that renovates houses of people who are unable to pay for essential home repairs and much-needed updates.

Jason has been tinkering with computers and electronics since a very young age. As soon as he was able to read, he would spend hours entering programs from books and magazines on a Commodore 64. At age 11, he created a simple shoot-em-up game on the Commodore 64 in BASIC. Here he learned the joy of reading and writing registers to make the computer do what he wanted. He also was infamous for his electronics experiments that were often a means to generate high voltage.

While in college, Jason started building websites and web servers. This led him to join an IT sales and service company to develop a product catalog web application. While there he took on computer repair, UNIX system administration, and networking before officially moving into software development. Over the years, he has worked on data collection and processing systems, embedded systems, robotics, medical devices for image-guided surgery, supported clinical trials, and cadaver studies. More recently, he has been working on embedded Android devices customizing Android, as well as designing and developing the suite of applications.

Jason loves the outdoors, hiking, traveling, raising poultry, playing music, volunteering, and, of course, playing with microcontrollers, embedded systems, or other gadgets.
