Jason Kelly

Jason’s history with the LAN community goes back over twenty years, from running events like LanChelms, NorEaster, and Hudson LAN under LPANE, to serving as part of the original BYOC and FreePlay admin teams at PAX. That hands on community building is what brought him back to LANFest, where he’s excited to help shape what comes next.
Professionally, Jason is Director of Infrastructure Capacity and FinOps at Surescripts, where he leads cloud efficiency and capacity strategy across a complex enterprise environment. He also chairs the board of the Greater Seattle Soccer League, the largest recreational soccer nonprofit in the Pacific Northwest. A New England native now based in Seattle, he’s an avid traveler, photographer, and proud owner of two dogs, Pepper and Arwen.
