I am Javay Johnson, a dynamic Full-Stack Software Engineer with 10 years of IT PM experience. I have mastered JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Mongo DB, Express and CI/CD processes. I am passionate about developing robust, user-centric applications and debugging.

Microsoft Azure Data Center Migrations/Automated Testing and Site Monitoring
I have experience leading a major $8M application migration project of high complexity, size, and scope to transfer applications from a legacy data center to two Microsoft Azure data centers. I also led software application assessment projects executed by the migration vendor: Fujitsu America. I managed over 3000 global application teams on Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Tech Refresh, and Automated Testing projects. In addition, I led and managed projects with Evergreen Hosting, and the deployment of SiteScope and Dynatrace for security and compliance, and decommissioned software programs and applications. In addition, I have experience managing DevOps teams for automated SDLC with an AGILE framework. I have also led major projects such as I-ERP Global initiatives with S/4 Hana and SAP Ariba integrations, and United Kronos Group (UKG) net new implementations and module migrations.
I have navigated diverse IT roles within Fortune 500 companies like Ford Motor Company, Zoom Info, Conga, and Domino’s Pizza. My experience spans from a freelance Full-Stack Software Engineer, Senior Project Manager, Scrum Master and Business Analyst. With my educational and career experience, I am confident with delivering great work and stellar outcomes.
