NyckJohnson/README.md

Hi, I'm Nicholas Johnson

Software engineer + Author + Designer + Silly Goose — I like making things.

Background

Spent 7 years at Cisco writing and maintaining 150+ technical tools for network engineers. After that, I wrote a book, traveled the world, and I'm now combining my engineering background with graphic design to create better user experiences.

What I Build With

Backend: Python, Perl, SQL, Django
Frontend: JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, D3
Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins
Currently Learning: Swift, graphic design

Philosophy

Good software needs three things: it works, it's maintainable, and people actually want to use it. I bring engineering rigor, clear communication (writer), and visual thinking (designer) to every project.
