Summary
Johnny Bell is an Australian-born software engineer and founder with a decade of experience building customer-facing web and mobile products, now based in Aliso Viejo, CA. He founded Evvntly, an event discovery app that pairs venue partnerships with giveaways and interactive concert experiences, and built it with Next.js, React Native, Node.js and Postgres/Supabase. Prior to founding Evvntly he advanced through senior frontend roles at fast-moving product companies (Dutchie, Weedmaps, StackShare, Doctor.com), specializing in React, GraphQL and pragmatic backend integration with Ruby on Rails. Johnny blends hands-on engineering and team leadership—he has split IC/lead responsibilities and shipped features under tight deadlines across design, infra and product teams. His background in design, audio engineering and ecommerce frontend development gives him a strong product sensibility and an eye for polished user experiences. He’s equally comfortable architecting full‑stack systems and prototyping event-driven consumer features that drive engagement.
