ABOUT ME

I'm very proud of the work I've done throughout my 25+ year career as a product developer. I've committed the last 10 years to enhancing user experience in U.S. healthcare, but I've worked in a wide variety of industries from professional and consumer audio to general avionics, video games, online training, and more. I draw on these experiences as a designer not just to think "outside the box" but to completely redefine the box with strategic thinking.

I can make a significant and lasting impact on the products your customers rely on. Want to know more?

TESTIMONIALS

What my Colleagues Say

John has a drive to make the products he works on better. He was a hands on keyboard manager during our time together, and he brought to life multiple large web features for WorldWinner.com that had significant revenue impact on that platform. You can count on John being very engaged during the SDLC. At GSN Games, he would regularly provide honest feedback on UI/UX aspects of features in a respectful and collaborative way.

John is a great addition to any team looking for a skilled, transparent, experienced (and likeable) professional to create excellent web experiences.

John Wood, GSN Games

John is the consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. We have been colleagues for many years and have developed projects both large and small, however regardless of the size and scope of an undertaking, John retains the same personal, approachable and ethical style that is hugely beneficial to both the client and the work environment.

A skilled project manager, he is able to liaise with many different departments - be they artistic, technical, marketing or sales - while demonstrating a considerable depth of knowledge and understanding, from database deployment and coding through to new media presentations and beyond.

John is a true 'team player', honest, sociable and an invaluable asset to any company.

Stuart Robinson, Harman Specialty Group

John is a seasoned web developer, designer, and leader. During my time with him, he took on many roles, each of which he excelled at. He brings non-obvious, yet invaluable perspectives and skills to the team and his work ethic is unassailable.

Ray Mendez, 38 Studios, LLC.

 

John is a consummate professional- an excellent manager and facilitator as well as a gifted designer. I have had the privilege to work with him on a number of projects, and have been consistently impressed by his thoughtful feedback and input- and he's just a great guy to work with; personable and kind. He would be an asset in any situation, as I'm sure you'll find if you're lucky enough to work with him.
