He has held senior engineering and leadership roles at HashiCorp, ConvertKit, and Trunk Club, and co-founded payments startup Spreedly where he led early PCI DSS compliance and infrastructure efforts. Johnny blends practical DevOps and site reliability expertise with customer-facing solution design, helping teams move code to production reliably at scale.
