About
Jason is a designer–engineer who builds human centered systems across software, data, and devices. As Co‑Founder and CTO of QuickSlot Health, he translates complex, high‑stakes workflows into clear, intelligent tools so clinicians can focus on people. Recently, he helped launch the NIH 3D Print Exchange’s open source prosthetics repository with e‑NABLE. Additional projects include a privacy-by-design PHI anonymization tool, an offline Coral‑based data stripping device, and an automated medication dispenser. His philosophy centers on co‑designing with end-users, research that is evidence-based, responsible AI usage and data governance, and rapid prototyping that turns constraints into simple, human experiences. Through EDI, he aims to deepen his understanding of systems thinking and leadership, while working to expand a versatile toolkit with a focus on shaping responsible innovation across complex systems.

Why EDI?
Jason is drawn to EDI’s interdisciplinary, project‑based environment that develops designers who pair technical depth with design research and communication. He looks forward to a small, collaborative cohort; the flexibility to explore service, digital, and systems design; and the chance to learn from diverse perspectives. EDI will help him strengthen strategy and leadership skills and build a versatile toolkit to deliver impactful, human‑centered solutions across contexts.
