Who am I?
I am David Johnston, a web developer based in Melbourne, Australia.
The core of my career as been working with JavaScript/TypeScript, Node and React, and associated tooling (bundlers, compilers, build pipelines etc).
I spend a lot of of time thinking how to put the patterns in place such that developers can be effective, maintain momentum and enjoy their jobs.
I am regular presenter at MelbJS.
Outside of code
My interests outside of computers include typewriters, board games, and pinball.
Favourite board games- Agricola
- Terra Mystica
- War of the Ring
- Twilight Struggle
- Patchwork
- IBM Selectric
- Hard to say. As of 2024 I own 1993 Data East Jurassic Park, which has me learning how to solder and use a multimeter.
