Hi, I'm Jason Pike.
I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I run Southeast Surplus Co, a resale business that finds new homes for surplus tools, electronics, and gear — and I build software that automates the boring parts of my life.
Most of what I make starts as a personal itch: a pattern-translation app for my wife's crochet projects, a home server that runs our household services, an automation pipeline that photographs, prices, and lists inventory for the business. I write up each build in Projects.

Friends newsletter: a few times a year I send a short email to people
I like — what I'm building, what we're cooking, and the gear that's actually worth
buying (I handle a lot of gear). Email me if you want on the list.
