Jason Smith

A little corner of the web for my projects, ideas, and the things I’m building.

I’ve spent a lot of time around systems, operations, and the kind of problem-solving that usually starts messy and gets clearer one step at a time. These days I’m mostly interested in practical software, simulation design, AI-assisted workflows, and building tools that feel thoughtful and useful.

About

I come from a background shaped by systems, operations, and figuring out how to make complicated things a little more workable. A lot of what I enjoy is sitting with a problem long enough to understand its moving parts, then building something simple and durable around it.

Lately that has meant spending more time with AI-assisted workflows, simulation and wargame-adjacent design, practical tools, and software projects that are more about clarity than flash.

I’m drawn to work that feels grounded: useful interfaces, good process, better reporting, small improvements that add up, and projects that earn their keep over time.

What I’m Working On

Not a formal portfolio so much as a running set of things I keep coming back to.

MacArthur War Engine / Theater of Operations

The biggest and most serious project in the mix. It brings together simulation ideas, scenario design, operational tooling, and the kind of systems work that rewards patience.

MWE tool stack

The supporting layer around the engine: utilities, workflow surfaces, reports, validation tools, and all the quieter pieces that make a project like that easier to run and understand.

Fantasy baseball / fantasy manager tools

A more playful area, but still one I take seriously. I like the mix of decision-making, pattern spotting, and building small tools that help turn information into something more usable.

AI workflow experiments

I’m interested in how AI can fit into real work without becoming noise. Mostly that means experimenting with workflows, prompts, and lightweight systems that help people get from idea to execution a little more cleanly.

A Few Things I’m Into

Simulation and wargame design

Systems with tradeoffs, consequences, and enough structure to reveal something interesting over time.

AI-assisted workflows

Not as spectacle, but as a practical way to reduce friction, clarify work, and make a process a little better.

Practical systems and process thinking

I like the part where vague problems become clearer through better structure, better tools, and a few steady iterations.

Fantasy baseball and sports analysis

The mix of numbers, intuition, and long-season pattern recognition has always felt satisfying to me.

Building things step by step

I trust gradual improvement more than grand reveals. Most of the good work I’ve seen comes together that way.

Thoughtful software projects

Tools with a point of view, some restraint, and enough care in the details that they feel good to live with.
