Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

— Leonardo da Vinci

I've been writing code professionally for about 10 years, working primarily in full-stack web development across agriculture, fintech, and healthcare. I started my career right when single-page apps were taking off, so I've spent a lot of time with JavaScript and front-end frameworks in addition to the .NET, Node, and PHP ecosystems.

I was fortunate to learn TDD and clean code practices early in my career from developers who cared deeply about the craft. That foundation still influences how I write software today. I believe simple, well-tested, thoughtfully structured code leads to better outcomes for everyone.

Every so often, I publish my thoughts on software development, architecture, and lessons learned from leading teams on this blog. To get in contact with me, send me an email at hey@johnoerter.me, follow me on Twitter, or connect with me on LinkedIn.
