Tokenized is a Bitcoin wallet for issuing, managing and trading digital tokens. I built out the front end which was packaged as an electron app. It was a difficult frontend to build because we stored the user keys locally and used them to sign transactions and contracts.

Optimizing markets with tens of millions of rows using SQL., Used Figma for design and UX work

Blockbid is an Australian crypto currency exchange. I started off on the frontend but eventually became lead tech and worked on every moving piece of the exchange. I really enjoyed working with liquidity providers and connecting their platforms to help us achieve liquid markets.

Worked with Postgres, Redis and Dynamodb for storage. Hosted on a mixture of Heroku Apps and EC2 servers. Hybrid app supported on all platforms

Built a very large and complex React / Redux application. It works on all platforms and has IOS/Android builds due to it being a PWA. (wrapped it in React Native though only implementing a WebView)

Larger market share than Yahoo, Microsoft and Google javascript content distribution networks. We serve hundreds of billions request a month

Following Google’s CDN for jQuery, we decided to start a CDN for the less popular Javascript frameworks. The CDN is community moderated and open source on GitHub. We secured a partnership with Cloudflare who now supports the infrastructure.

Obtained thanks to my contributions to the Java community.

Helped launch eight student tech startups. Helped manage program platform. Student magazine editor volunteer.

Volunteered as a mentor. Helped students gain basic IT skills. Taught and offered guidance to trainees on new computer programs.

John was hired as a lead developer and, upon the leaving of our co-founder, took over as CTO of Earbits. John is, hands down, one of those A Players you hear of companies dying to hire. He is incredibly smart, not just at code but about everything from classical music to Chinese language and culture. John is great to work with and, as a well established contributor to open source projects and several successful ventures, commands the respect of engineers at all levels. I would suggest doing anything you can to have him on your team.

I’ve had the great pleasure of working with John for the past three years at Earbits, and on a few side projects. Two years ago our CTO left on a moment’s notice, John saved our company by quickly stepping up to fill this role. He has been with our company through thick and thin and made serious personal sacrifices in order to help the company during tough times. He is a phenomenal hacker and a true team player. Highly recommended!

John is an extremely talented engineer with a very broad range of skills and experience. From being a thought leader in the front-end community via backbonetutorials.com and cdnjs.com, to designing and implementing the API for cdnjs.com, working with John has been a fantastic learning experience. John is truly a full stack developer, and his work output is incredible. If there is any opportunity to work with John, I take it. He is the definition of an A player.
