John King is a pragmatic product manager and former application security engineer with a decade of experience building secure, user-focused web applications and services. Currently at Flexion, he blends product ownership with hands-on security and infrastructure know-how—having led foundational teams for CMS programs and implemented cross-program de-identification and incident response tooling. He co-founded West Wind Security and runs regional security events, reflecting a commitment to developer education and community building beyond day-to-day product work. His background spans full-stack development, DevOps automation, and feature-flagged delivery for large government programs, and he’s comfortable moving between strategic metrics and nitty-gritty implementation. Based in upstate New York, he also ships indie games and rapid prototyping tools in his spare time, showing a persistent appetite for creative technical projects.
