With a career spanning over 20 years, Jim has a broad range of experience applying technological solutions in the mineral resources, healthcare, library, education, and financial services industries. Jim was a member of the team that developed the first commercial AI-based hospital information system. He later went on to develop the first entirely web-based school visitor and volunteer management system. More recently Jim has been a contributing member of Node.js Node-API team. Jim has a passion for solving problems and is particularly interested in promoting the adoption of JavaScript in the scientific and engineering communities. Outside of technical pursuits Jim enjoys international travel (when possible!) and the cultural and recreational opportunities offered closer to home in Southern Oregon.
