Ryan Johnson

I am an experienced full-stack developer that specializes in JavaScript, with an emphasis on ReactJS and Node.js. I thrive when working in an agile environment with self-organized teams that focus on collaboration, and delivering value.

Being a freelance developer has afforded me the unique opportunity to provide services for start-ups, banks, consultants, agencies, and many others. In doing so I have been exposed to a wide variety of talented people that I’ve learned from along the way. I am a stickler for process, capable of leading teams through the development of a project from start to finish, while delivering a final product that adheres to high quality standards.
