Jason Porritt

Computers and software have been a big part of my life since childhood. I cut my teeth editing save game files, modifying QBasic programs, dialing into BBS systems, and learning how to optimize the DOS operating system of our 286 in the early 90’s. That curiosity and excitement led me to a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from Michigan Technological University and a career in software development.

Along with my technical curiosity, I have always loved collaborating with teams to achieve ambitious goals. That combination has served me well throughout my career as a technical and team leader.

In my role as a Managing Partner for Atomic Object's Grand Rapids office, I leverage my technical experience and team orientation to create the environment and opportunities for our teams to do their best work for Atomic's clients.

I draw on two decades of experience building custom software to assemble and organize effective teams, identify and solve the right problems, and help our clients and teams navigate the custom software journey. At Atomic Object, I have been involved with over 100 client projects, ranging from fresh builds of consumer-facing mobile and web applications to complex rewrites of internal business systems and many variations between. I have worked as a developer, delivery lead, and principal consultant prior to taking on the role of managing partner.
