Jason Kuhrt

Hey! 👋

I am a software engineer passionate about system design, developer experience, static typing, and functional programming. Educated in design theory, practice, and social responsibility, I discovered programming through open source community and tools like Wordpress, Node.js, and GitHub. Over a decade later I find myself in love with TypeScript and working at Prisma, leading development on the Prisma Data Platform Control Plane.

In my personal life, I sometimes work on open source projects, but closest to my heart are the backpacking trips I take with my boys across the beautiful rugged Canadian landscape. 🏔🇨🇦
