About

Hi, I'm Dustin.

Johnson City, TNOpen to opportunities

I'm a software developer and IT professional who specializes in building and deploying web solutions that create real business value. I care less about frameworks for their own sake and more about shipping software that actually solves the problem in front of it.

My background spans both sides of the technical spectrum: I understand how to write clean, modern code — React, TypeScript, Next.js, SQL — and I also understand the IT infrastructure that web software runs on, from DNS and hosting to networking and systems administration.

On the freelance side, I've built and deployed complete web presences for small businesses, including lead generation sites and event booking platforms. Each project gave me direct experience owning the full lifecycle — client discovery, design decisions, development, launch, and ongoing maintenance.

I'm looking to bring that same practical, business-aware mindset to a full-time engineering role where I can contribute to a team building real software for real users.

How I work

Ship practical software

I focus on solutions that work in production and solve real problems — not over-engineered demos.

Business value first

Every technical decision I make is tied to an outcome: more leads, less friction, better efficiency.

Own the full lifecycle

From discovery and design through deployment and maintenance, I handle every layer of the stack.

Write maintainable code

Clean, documented, structured code that the next developer — or future me — can work with confidently.
