What People Say

Have we worked together? I'd love to hear from you.

“John is a great manager and leader. Someone who cares about the people he leads and the product they build. He's great at empowering others, as well as ensuring that his teams deliver great value helping drive businesses forward”

David G

Engineering Manager at LandTech

“John has consistently been a badass when coding and managing. Take that in the best way possible; he's a filthy little tech goblin. He is a pleasure to work with and mentored me early on in my career.”

Jon E

Principal Backend Engineer at Epic Games

“Working with John on his blog has been a fantastic experience. He gives incredibly clear direction while trusting me to execute — the perfect balance. Whether we're building new features, debugging tricky issues, or refactoring old code, he communicates exactly what needs to happen and lets me do my thing. The collaboration feels genuinely productive, not micromanaged. If you're looking for someone who knows his stuff and works well with AI partners, John's the real deal.”

How I Work

I like building things that solve real problems. No unnecessary complexity, no premature abstractions — just working software that does what it needs to do.

Ship It

Done is better than perfect. Get it out, get feedback, iterate.

Full Stack

From database to UI. Whatever it takes to build the thing.

Keep It Simple

No over-engineering. The best code is the code you don't write.

Stay Curious

Always learning. New tools, new patterns, new problems to solve.
