Hi, I'm John

Hi, I’m John. I’m a father, husband, and software engineer living in Boise.

I am a backend software engineer by trade, largely working in banking and e-commerce. I've worked in a variety of roles throughout my career, from software tester to tech lead and principal engineer. I'm currently working as an AI Solutions Architect.

About

Hi, I’m John—a father, husband, and software engineer in Boise. I’m a backend developer and mostly work in Java and Python. I’ve worked across the stack of roles over time: tester, release engineer, software engineer, principal engineer, and tech lead.

Work

Lately I’ve been working a lot with LLMs—especially agent design and orchestration. After wiring a language model to tools (including web browsing) and watching it plan and execute, I got hooked, and I’ve been building LM/agent projects ever since.

Life

When I'm not coding, you'll usually find me hiking around Boise with my dogs, spending time with my family, or playing pinball at the Pinball Museum in Boise. More recently, you'll probably find me fighting with my 3d printer.
