About Jess Johnson

I build things that surprise and delight people, and use data to make the world a better place. Writing code is my happy place. My current weapon of choice is Python, but I believe in using the best tool for the job. If you are someone who enjoys long lists of keywords, here are a few that I’ve worked with most recently: Python, Django, Pytest, ES6, JQuery, Backbone, Underscore, Cordova, Git, Linux, Puppet, Ansible, Vagrant, Postgres. In the past I’ve also worked in the Java.NET, and PHP ecosystems, but I won’t swamp you with all of those keywords too.Also, I have a snazzy bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley, and enjoy opportunities for continued education.I’ve built API performance dashboards, cloud native microservices to ingest terabytes of content for the Library of Congress, highly performant Python ETLs, apps for tracking habits and mood, a book discovery service for readers, data-crunching SaaS tools for internet marketers, open source Django apps, and a bunch of odds and ends. You can see some of the highlights in my portfolio.
