Hi, I'm John Wight

I'm a Senior Full Stack Web Developer with 15 years of experience building modern web applications, so I have spent a lot of time solving problems and refining my craft. I'm based in the United States, splitting time between Montana and Kansas, and my favorite tech stack is Laravel, React, Inertia, and Tailwind CSS.

I enjoy creating seamless, all in one digital experiences that connect customers, partners, and internal teams, turning complex ideas into products that feel simple and intuitive to use.

Touching Grass

I enjoy traveling, especially to Japan, and spending time gaming when I am off the clock. I am also into hoarding unopened LEGO sets and going to the occasional conventions with my trouble making wife. At home, I hang out with my wife's dogs, who keep life interesting. I like keeping a good balance between work and the things I enjoy outside of it.
