Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFielding Johnston is a design-minded full-stack software engineer with 14 years of industry experience, currently building clinician-focused products at Freed. He blends front-end craftsmanship—typography, negative space, and UX—with back-end service design, having led engineering and design teams as VP of Engineering and Director of Design and Development. Fielding has driven large-scale refactors (notably migrating a high-traffic product to Svelte) and engineered reactive frameworks to improve developer experience and performance. As a founder of justFielding he shipped interactive web apps using React and Three.js and advocated open-source practices to reduce technical debt. Based in Fort Smith, Arkansas, he pairs multidisciplinary creative instincts with deep hands-on coding across languages like JavaScript and C++, and a willingness to adopt new tools or paradigms. He’s as comfortable sketching a UI concept as he is tuning servers, bringing a rare designer-developer synthesis to product engineering.
