About Jason
Jason Nocita is the founder of Devantas, a technology consulting firm based in Omaha, Nebraska. He started his technology career in 1998 and spent the subsequent decades inside corporate America, holding progressively senior technology and engineering leadership roles. In 2024 he founded Devantas to bring the same caliber of executive technology leadership — strategy, architecture, transformation, AI — to organizations that need it without the cost or commitment of a full-time CTO.
Jason's working philosophy is direct: the technology stops working the moment people stop using it, every initiative needs an owner and a measurable outcome, and the best consultants work themselves out of a job. That mindset shapes every Devantas engagement.

Areas of focus
Fractional CTO leadership
Embedded executive technology leadership on a fractional basis — strategy, architecture, vendor decisions, hiring guidance, board-level reporting. Engagements scoped quarterly, typically 10–20 hours per week.
AI strategy & implementation
From "where does AI actually move our business" through production rollout. Covers generative AI applications, agentic workflows, retrieval and grounding, evaluation, and the operational discipline that keeps AI systems reliable in production.
Digital transformation
Multi-phase modernization programs that pair technology change with the operating-model changes that make it stick. Stabilize, modernize, operationalize — with executive sponsorship and structured change management throughout.
Engineering leadership
Standing up or rescuing engineering organizations: team design, delivery cadence, technical-debt remediation, on-call and incident response, and the day-to-day discipline that distinguishes a high-performing team from a busy one.
Enterprise & solution architecture
System and data architecture for organizations whose existing tech stack has aged into the way of the business. Practical, sequenced, and biased toward decisions that can be reversed when they need to be.
Innovation & portfolio governance
Helping leadership teams decide what to bet on, what to defer, and what to kill — and putting the lightweight governance in place so the answer doesn't drift every quarter.
How Jason works
Outcomes over hours
Every Devantas engagement Jason leads is scoped around a defined business outcome and a measurable result. Hours are tracked because clients need to budget for them, but they're not the deliverable — the outcome is.
Honest counsel
Jason tells leadership teams what he actually thinks, including when the right call is to slow down, scope down, or stop. "We Go First" is one of the firm's values; he will not advise a client to do something he isn't prepared to do himself.
Knowledge transfer is the goal
The Devantas value "We Work Ourselves Out of a Job" is operationalized in every engagement: each deliverable comes with a path to internal ownership, and every engagement has a defined off-ramp. Jason measures success in part by how quickly the client team can run without him.
