Summary
John Johnson is a pragmatic full-stack system programmer with 11 years of experience building and maintaining web applications and APIs, currently contributing to the Hawaiʻi Department of Taxation. Trained in Web Design and Interactive Media, he blends front-end polish with back-end rigor—having led projects that handled large product catalogs, rebuilt company sites with Docker/Laravel/Vue, and automated CI/CD pipelines across GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Forge, and Vapor. He has a track record of translating business logic into cost-saving, end-to-end systems (notably replacing expensive SaaS with an in-house print-shop management suite) and producing clear technical documentation and training for teams. A daily problem-solver who enjoys logic puzzles, he pairs disciplined engineering with user-focused design sensibilities and a side interest in tabletop RPGs and harmonica that hint at a creative, system-minded approach to challenges.
