Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Turner is a pragmatic technology leader and hands-on CTO with 11+ years building full-stack web and mobile systems, currently leading engineering and practice at SOLVD.cloud from Salt Lake City. He blends deep implementation skills in C#, Java, Python, Swift, React and AWS with a strong DevOps pedigree (Ansible, Terraform, CloudFormation), enabling teams to ship resilient, cost-effective cloud deployments. As a former founder and senior engineer, he has repeatedly owned end-to-end systems—API design, frontend SPA work, database modeling, and automated CI/CD—often cutting costs and page load times substantially. He is an active open-source contributor, notably enhancing Raycast extensions with cross-platform disk-ejection logic and UI improvements, reflecting his comfort across OS-level utilities and React front-ends. Driven by curiosity and continuous learning, he pairs technical depth with people leadership, mentoring teams while still enjoying “coding frenzies.” Outside work he’s a family-focused professional who brings the discipline of product-driven engineering to practical business outcomes.
