About

John Keen

I'm a software developer based in Redmond, Oregon, currently pursuing my Master's in Software Engineering at Grand Canyon University. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 4.0 GPA in Software Development, building a strong foundation in object-oriented programming, data structures, and algorithms.

My focus is on building clean, scalable, and well-tested software. I enjoy working across the full stack, from designing database schemas to crafting user interfaces. I'm particularly interested in cloud-native development and creating systems that can grow with user needs.
