Hi, I’m John.

I enjoy the space where product ideas meet real engineering constraints. I work alongside product, design, and backend teams to take features from requirements through implementation and delivery. My experience spans web, mobile, and connected devices; my approach stays grounded in curiosity, ownership, and practical problem-solving.
