“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” – Leonardo da Vinci
Prior to joining LimeLight, John worked in the public and private sector before he and Caleb built a successful software development company, DevSquared. LimeLight acquired DevSquared at the beginning of 2021 and John now leads our development team as well as helping to define processes and strategies around creating the best possible websites. For him, there’s a lot of joy in finding out how a website might not “work.” It might be broken technically, it might not serve a clear purpose, it might not work for people. Finding and predicting that “why,” and fixing it, is something that drives him every day.
When he’s not coding or helping clients, you might find John inspiring the next generation of developers by teaching the occasional class at Pittsburg State University or publishing Pluralsight content to help K-12 educators teach students how to code. And if he’s not doing that, he’s likely on some sort of adventure with his wife, three girls, and two dogs.
