Jason Goldstein is a guy in D.C., where he lives with his wife and their dog. By profession, he builds and runs software teams that get big stuff done, mostly supporting the mission and business of journalism. He's currently the Director of Engineering at Scientific American.
This site has run its course and is now retired. Feel free to get in touch to swap recipes, recommend a book, or talk media, product & technology. Dog photos are always welcome... especially if they're part beagle.
Jason was a journalism major who discovered he was having more building websites than actually doing reporting, and spent the last 15 years building software for news organizations. He's a hands-on tech lead sometimes found wearing a product hat.
He created the first revenue team at The Atlantic with a dual mission: learn the economics and drive all forms of B2B revenue, and ensure reader experience reaches the highest possible standard. The team built a suite of powerful tools supporting every aspect of the business, several of which were unique in the industry.
In 2022 he moved to Scientific American—the legendary science magazine published continuously since 1845—as part of a massive renovation job to reinvent the brand for a the modern media era.
Jason has also been a hobbyist independent filmmaker (3 feature films, several shorts, many indie festival nominations), live music afficianado (peaking at 30 shows in one year), and assistant to the beagle (who is a very good boy), and can often be found making homemade bagels, fresh pasta or hanging out by the grill.
