back in The Mitten
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. I’ve been exploring social web protocols such as ActivityPub, the AT Protocol, and Nostr. Outside of development, I’m an avid dart player and also play guitar.
