About Me

My name is John Pennock, and I'm a former Microsoft and Wizards of the Coast software engineer engaged in incubating personal projects. In addition to learning about AI, I'm also learning Nuxt and Vue 3 as JavaScript frameworks for creating front ends and backend services. I work from home in the Seattle area in the United States. My career has encompassed software engineering, program management, and startup founder. In my various roles I have designed and engineered software at many levels of the services, backend servers, front end web, applications, and game stacks. I love gaming 🐉, personal finance 💸 and history 🏛️.
