#JTIME
The Return of Jimmy J-Time
Hilo-born. Washington-raised since 1983. Grew up in the mid-to-late 90s Seattle music scene. Twenty-plus years building systems at scale.
A decade of health challenges and rebuilding the body — still going. In 2026 the lights started coming back on. Memories flooding in like a firehose. Purpose is back. Still here. Still building.

Born in Hilo, Hawai‘i. Family roots in Washington go back generations. Lived in the Pacific Northwest since 1983. Came up during the Seattle music years that shaped a lot of us.
Spent two decades in deep systems work — large-scale virtualization, SAN-backed headless compute, multi-domain identity, and the integration ecosystems that supported early internal cloud moves at Microsoft.
The Comeback
Traumatic brain injury. Bedridden for a year. Serotonin toxicity. A decade of medical and systemic problems that shut everything down. Vision issues, occipital neuralgia, the long recovery from fire and chemical burns, years of fog.
Got off the pharmaceuticals. Did the work. In 2026 the lights started turning back on — felt like waking up from a coma and amnesia at the same time. Body is still being rebuilt. Mind is clearer. Work continues.
#ImStillHere isn’t a slogan. It’s just the truth.
