Senior🎓
Top SchoolRussell Johnson is a graphics and tools-focused software engineer with nine years of experience and a background in real-time interactive simulation from DigiPen. He has shipped C++ engines and Nintendo Switch development work while evolving internal developer tooling and GPU profiler features at Nintendo, moving from intern to engineer roles. Comfortable across C#, ASP.NET Core, WPF, and modern front-end stacks (React/TypeScript), he has modernized legacy UIs and implemented REST APIs and database migrations for production systems. Russell also maintains hands-on hardware experience with devkit firmware and installer bug hunting, a detail that reflects deep systems-level fluency beyond typical application work. Currently exploring Rust, he blends game-engine rigor with full-stack toolchain delivery in a developer-centric environment.
