Hello 👋 My name is Paul Johns
I'm a dynamic software developer bringing a unique blend of military experience and entrepreneurial spirit to the tech world. After 8 years of serving in Special Operations Forces, where I held the role of Psychological Operations Sergeant, I'm excited to embark on a new journey in the tech industry. My coding journey started with five years of self-teaching, complemented by formal education in a coding bootcamp.
During my military service, I maintained a secret security clearance and honed my adaptability, leadership, and team collaboration skills. Beyond my military background, I'm a passionate numismatist who founded two rare coin businesses. Faced with the limitations of existing solutions, I developed my own inventory management system, showcasing my proficiency in languages like Python, JavaScript, React, and TypeScript. Additionally, my experience as an ecommerce manager for one of the largest coin companies globally has equipped me with skills in digital marketing, SEO, and online sales.
Known for my rapid learning abilities, I'm currently expanding my knowledge into languages such as C and embedded programming. What motivates me is the process of bringing ideas to life—turning concepts into tangible results. Looking forward, my professional goals include transitioning successfully into the tech industry, continuous learning, and eventually becoming a senior developer and mentor for junior software developers.
In terms of work philosophy, I believe in getting the job done with unwavering determination. Whether leading or contributing to a team, I pride myself on delivering results without compromise. Outside of the tech realm, I find joy in numismatics, strumming my guitar, exploring robotics, and indulging in survival camping adventures.
