Tim Johns
Hands-On Software Engineering Leader
Founding Engineer, Technical Cofounder, Creator, Culture Builder
👋 Welcome!
I'm a Senior Engineering Manager at doxo, leading a high-performing front-end engineering team in the Greater Seattle Area.
I've bootstrapped a few solo projects, most recently including founding Epic Road Trip Planner to help people coordinate amazing road trips without the stress. I've also been lucky enough to get on board super-early with a few magical founding teams, including Tiller, Ontela, BlueWater Systems, and MSR Development.
When I'm not writing code, you might find me spending time with my family, hiking, or taking photos -- ideally, all three at the same time.
