Hi, I’m Jason Stroud. I build software people talk to. Lately that’s an AI coach that helps people work through hard feelings.

An AI that coaches people through difficult feelings, using TEAM-CBT. We compared six agent frameworks before settling on one, and I built the system in LangGraph: retrieval over the therapy material, moderation, and memory that keeps what someone shared last week.

On the app side I shipped voice chat, dictation and conversation summaries in React Native.

The custom metadata panel in Bridge and Photoshop. I wrote version three from scratch. Enterprise teams, NASA among them, use it to catalog more than a million assets. I also led the move of Adobe Asset Link to UXP, which gave it native Apple Silicon support.

Yes. At Kenect I designed REST and GraphQL APIs in Spring Boot and ran the deploy pipeline on Terraform, Kubernetes and AWS. These days it is Python and Rails. I am happiest owning a feature from the database to the button.

On GitHub, including merged work in Bluesky and Twenty. For something I built alone end to end, try Capo, a practice studio for musicians.

Play sports. These days it’s table tennis, and before that I played volleyball, badminton and soccer, and swam. Sports keep inspiring me. They taught me hard work, discipline, persistence, consistency and focus, and I bring all of that to my work.
