Summary
John Murphy is a founder and full-stack developer with 12 years of experience bridging research-grade engineering and consumer software through his studio, Such Software. After a research career at Lawrence Livermore and a stint teaching circuits and microfabrication, he now ships mobile apps and headless e-commerce platforms using technologies like Flutter, Next.js, Medusa, Rust, and Python. He has launched three consumer apps (AI decision spinner, plant-based trivia, and a Bauhaus memory game) and operates revenue-sharing, Toast-style storefronts that help small businesses avoid heavy platform fees. His background in semiconductor research and nuclear engineering gives him uncommon comfort across hardware, embedded systems, and cloud deployments. Based in Kennett Square, PA, he pairs academic rigor (PhD in Materials Science) with a pragmatic founder’s mindset and a quirky GitHub bio that hints at humility despite production-grade work.
