Advisor, Founder Developer, CTO, Software Engineer
I am a technical and strategic founder developer experienced in web3, software engineering and building startups over the past 10 years. I operate at the senior software engineer to CTO level depending on the size of the organisation, and am able to develop a company's "zero to one" product.
My web3 origin story started almost ten years ago, when I bartered Bitcoin for malaria tablets (irl) while living in Ghana, West Africa in 2012.
I founded and grew Ninja Syndicate into a large team of 50+ web3 builders in Australia, focused on developing a platform for Metaverse Gaming.
I'm looking to contribute to cutting edge software projects with cool problems to solve. I look forward to collaborating with a remote-first, technical and engaging team.
You can find out more on my personal website, or contact me directly at john@jtmn.dev.
With the invaluable help of others, I have:
- Launched a token sale generating over 4.5M USD in revenue
- Founded two software companies growing to 50+ staff
- Mentored and trained 15+ full stack software engineers
- Launched a GameFi product with 17k+ community
- Written smart contracts reaching a TVL of $500k USD
- Ran a tech business podcast reaching 100+ episodes
I have programmed against several languages, frameworks and libraries over the past decade, and can pick up new ones quickly.
My current tools of choice are:
- Go
- TypeScript
- React
- Solidity
- Foundry
- Docker/k8s
- Postgresql
The above tools enable a powerful combination of scalability, type safety, maintainability and general purpose programming.
