Summary
Leslie Johnson is a founder and principal engineer with over two decades of hands-on experience in systems programming, Linux, and full-stack web development, now focused on Go, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud-native microservices. A longtime Unix/Linux user and Emacs power-user, Leslie brings deep backend expertise—especially in Go and SQL—while also delivering React/JavaScript front-ends when needed. He runs a remote freelance practice (Infolabs) building distributed, fault-tolerant systems and is currently developing an open-source project that leverages rqlite for resilient clustered databases. Comfortable across tooling and platforms, he favors functional programming approaches and pragmatic reuse of existing solutions to move projects forward quickly. Based in East Texas, he combines veteran architectural judgment with a learner’s curiosity and a knack for rapid problem-solving via strong “Google-fu.”
