I'm John. I automate repetitive tasks so humans can focus on creating new problems.

Kidding aside, I enjoy building systems that reduce friction, simplify workflows, and remove repetitive work...that makes people question their career choices.

• Automate repetitive workflows before another employee mysteriously “pursues new opportunities”
• Reduce unnecessary complexity instead of adding “enterprise-grade innovation”
• Connect tools that clearly never wanted to communicate with each other
• Build systems that quietly handle repetitive work in the background
• Develop AI agents and AI-powered workflows when AI actually makes sense
• and...avoid shoving AI into everything like it’s seasoning 🙅🧂🌶️🌿🧄

"If the workflow feels cursed, simplify first."

I don’t automate things just because I can.

Sometimes the best solution is:

• fewer moving parts
• deleting unnecessary steps
• fixing the actual process first
• or...simply not creating another microservice 😬

Good systems should feel boring in the best possible way.

Languages:
  - Python
  - JavaScript / TypeScript
  - SQL
  - Bash

Automation:
  - GitHub Actions
  - APIs
  - Selenium / Playwright
  - ActivePieces / N8N / Zapier / Make

Tools:
  - Docker
  - Linux
  - PostgreSQL
  - Node.js

• 🖥️ Homelabbing (converting free time into troubleshooting)
• 🤖 Slowly working toward robotics
• 🔧 Reviving dead hardware like a tech necromancer
• 🎸 Slapping Bass guitar (yes im a davie504 fan)
• 🧪 Constant experimentation and tinkering because “fail fast” sounded more professional than “randomly breaking stuff”

• My homelab is held together by curiosity and questionable financial decisions.
• “Temporary solution” is one of the strongest forces in engineering.

+ Reduce friction.
+ Keep systems simple.
+ Automate with purpose.
+ Use AI when it genuinely helps.
- Add 14 microservices to solve a 2-line problem.
- Build an AI agent to rename PDFs.
