Hello, I'm

James Johnes


Senior Software Engineer with 7 years of experience building software for retail operations. My work has covered franchise systems, order management, catalog data, inventory workflows, eCommerce integrations, and backend services that process high-volume business data. I am strongest where software has to connect messy real-world systems and keep daily operations moving.
