"As a UX designer who occasionally needs to hire help, I am very pleased with John's work on this project. Beyond providing a quality design, he is someone who GETS IT. He thinks for himself, can interpolate on any missing information, and can connect the dots without sacrificing quality. I've worked with many designers, and I cannot stress how much of a relief it is to find someone as competent as John."

"If I could give John 10 stars, I would! From his technical knowledge to his artistic eye, his communication and sense of humor, he would be my #1 choice if I were looking to hire a web developer full time! John delivered on every project I had him work on including two full Webflow website rebuilds and significant updates/changes to two other sites. He is easy to work with, responsive, and timely with all project deliverables. I would work with him again in a heartbeat. Thanks, John!"

About

Outside of Work

I read a lot! Personal development is definitely something that has resonated with me over the years. "Work harder on yourself than on your job", as the great thinker Jim Rohn would say.

And I love learning new programming languages and techniques even outside of work. (Yes, I work when I'm not working.) I go to nature trails almost every day, and I enjoy watching anime. (I speak a bit of Japanese!)

Monitors

The Command Center

How can you tell I'm a legit software developer? Well, I have three giant monitors and a tall standing desk!

Jokes aside, I'm very curious about what everybody's workspace looks like.

Personal

Life So Far

I came to the United States way back in 2010. I met Mallori in 2016, and we embarked on a journey filled with love and shared experiences. We got engaged and eventually tied the knot in 2018. Those experiences have taught me a lot about commitment and responsibility, and they've played a big part in shaping who I am today.

* Unfortunately, we've since divorced after being together for almost 10 years, but we've remained amicable. I still cherish all the good memories we made along the way.

Let's Build Together

Hi! I'm in the Memphis area and happy to meet in person. I drive an old Honda Civic, so you won't miss me. Looking forward to working with you!
