Jason Seaton

As a developer, I work primarily with Microsoft .NET, Xamarin, and Angular to develop cloud enabled web sites, desktop and mobile apps, games, among other ventures.

My journey began during university when I launched my first computer consulting company, CMC, followed by SeatonSoft as an independent consultant, and most recently Appnicity, another software development and services company.

Besides tech, I am also a real estate investor and own and operate a luxury and a fantasy themed short term rentals:

Originating from Maryland and the DC area, my passion for exploration led me to reside in Denmark for several years, serving as a launchpad for adventures across Europe and beyond.

For hobbies, I enjoy gaming, tinkering with VR / AR and smart home controls, and game programming using various libraries and tools, such as Unity.

Technology, of all types, although my primary passion is for programming. I am also a huge fan and supporter of NASA, having worked briefly on a contract at NASA Goddard.

My first computer was a TRS-80 II, and I learned programming in BASIC first, then moved on to Pascal and eventually to C, which is still probably my favorite language.

When learning a new platform or framework, I usually port a D&D style fantasy game that I started when I was around 16, writing it initially in BASIC, but over time I have ported it to Pascal, C on Qnix, C++ on OS/2 and WinNT, and most recently C# on Windows/Linux.

The latest iteration is a .NET based version called Lords of Chaos, Sancity's Edge. which is written in C# and also uses Xamarin to support multiple platforms for the game client.

Science, especially astronomy and cosmology and I am a huge fan of the late great Carl Sagan. I also enjoy reading about most history topics, particularly when topics covering how technology and human advancements occur and can be interconnected over time.

Music, is always playing while I am working, typically video game soundtracks, which are not too distracting. I started playing a guitar and piano when I was young, but then switched to drums around the age of 12. My work life got in the way, but I still try to find time to play when I can.
