# Jason Scherer

> Senior Software Engineer with mobile, front-end, UX, and graphics experience

Location: New York, New York, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/jasonscherer

I like solving difficult engineering problems, particularly where users see pixels: mobile and web development, client/front end, graphics, and UX.

In addition to being a top tier, seasoned engineer with design sensibilities, I have the kind of communication and leadership traits, and generous passion for mentorship, that will help glue your team together and keep them moving toward a common goal.

My endless curiosity about the ways computers can be used to enhance peoples' lives has driven my interest in experimentation at the intersection of the creative arts, technology, and open source.

I'm looking to bring all of this to the role of Technical Lead or Staff/Senior Software Engineer at your company.
