Louisville, Kentucky, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Johnson is a seasoned consultant and full‑stack engineer with 12+ years building interactive web experiences, data visualizations, and AI-driven products for newsrooms and enterprises. He combines deep front-end expertise in React, TypeScript, and UX design with back-end skills in Node, Python, and scalable APIs to deliver production-ready platforms and AI chatbots using RAG and semantic search. At The Washington Post he rapidly prototyped AI proof‑of‑concepts and shipped an AI SEO analyzer and context-aware chatbot, while earlier roles produced award-winning interactive journalism and a cost-saving mobile SPA for a 120+ paper group. Chris excels at translating editorial and user needs into flexible templates and tooling that empower designers and editors to tell richer stories. Now self-employed in Louisville, he consults on bespoke AI and interactive solutions, bringing a journalist’s attention to data and an engineer’s rigor to deployment. Last year’s family RV sabbatical reinforced his practical, user-centered approach to problem solving and rapid prototyping.
