About

I’m Jason Peterson, a self-taught software developer with nearly twenty years of experience. I currently work at FilmLight, helping developers build software for the film and post-production industry. Before that, I spent years working on projects touching Disney, Warner Brothers, and Netflix.

I came to programming from an English literature background. No CS degree, just MOOCs, curiosity, and a compulsion to build things. That unconventional path made me more experimental than most, and it’s why I gravitate toward new tools before the consensus forms around them.

Right now, I’m focused on building things with current AI tools. Mostly agentic coding (Claude Code, OpenCode, the MCP ecosystem) and applied ML in film and post-production.

This blog is where I write up those projects. New post most weeks.

I’ve previously written on Substack and Dev.to. The archives live there; the new work lives here.
