John Townsend’s Summary

An experienced Software Engineering Manager with strong skills on the Presentation layer of web applications. Expert knowledge with Java, JSP, Servlets, Struts, XML, DHTML, CSS, Ajax, JavaScript. Good knowledge of the entire web development architecture including JDBC, SQL, EJB, etc.

I really enjoy working on products that the average person loves using. I also enjoy creating new products from scratch. Although giving "birth" to 1.0 can be painful, it's also very rewarding.

In the past few years, I have been leading teams of Engineers as a Director, Engineering Manager, and Technical Lead. I have enjoyed the challenges of leading/managing people and delivering great products!
