Hello! My name is John, I'm a Software Engineer from Michigan.
I’ve been working in the industry as a Software Engineer for over a decade, with a primary focus on Front-End Engineering. Most of my experience has been in the ad tech space. Throughout my career, I’ve worked extensively with React and have recently been focusing on Next.js.
I’m also deeply interested in decentralized technologies and crypto/web3. I’ve been exploring social web protocols such as ActivityPub, the AT Protocol, and Nostr, with the goal of eventually integrating this site more closely with those protocols. Outside of development, I’m an avid dart player and also play guitar.
