Jason Adams
I lead a Windows Server infrastructure team at Tyler Technologies, managing 1,100+ servers and 18 AWS accounts for state, federal, and international government platforms. I work at the bridge between the VMware estate and the cloud it is moving to: operations, migrations, patching, mail security, DR, and the leadership work that keeps the whole thing moving.
Projects
Side projects where I practice the same disciplines I use professionally: reliable deployments, observability, automation, and resilient hosting.

Bingo for the pit: generate a card for any artist and spot band shirts, crowd chaos, and show moments live at the venue. React + Vite with a resilient music-data chain and serverless hosting.

Infrastructure leadership and senior engineering work where hybrid systems matter: Windows Server fleets, AWS operations, cloud migration, patch and vulnerability programs, DR, email security, and teams that need calm operational judgment.
