Hello — I'm John Lloyd.
I moved from enterprise .NET modernisation into AI-integrated product work. I've shipped ERP, aviation logistics and manufacturing platforms on ASP.NET and Angular, and now build Chrome extensions and SaaS tools wired into the OpenAI, Claude and Gemini APIs. I care about shipped code, measurable impact, and tools that respect a maintainer's time.

I've spent 8 years building production software. Most of that was on enterprise .NET and Angular platforms — ERP, aviation logistics, manufacturing process apps — and the last stretch has been AI-integrated Chrome extensions and SaaS products at Liftoff Company Inc. Two very different eras, same habits: ship it, keep it maintainable, make the impact measurable.
I started at Lear Corporation as an intern building internal apps for automotive manufacturing. Since then I've shipped software for airlines through Sense Software Solutions in Singapore, modernised legacy systems at OSL International, delivered to hard deadlines at Yondu, led full-stack work at Nowcom Global Services, and now build AI-powered extensions and SaaS tools at Liftoff.
Remote has been my default for years. I've worked across Philippine, Singaporean and US timezones, reviewed code with people I have never met in person, and learned to lean on written handoffs. My mornings overlap Australian and New Zealand business hours and US West Coast evenings; my late evenings reach US morning standups.
What I care about
- Boring technology
- Shipped beats clever. Whether it is .NET and SQL Server or React and Supabase, I pick the stack that stays calm under load and is unsurprising to operate at 3am.
- Readable code
- Other people — including future me — have to maintain this. Honest naming, small functions and comments that explain why beat cleverness every time.
- Measurable impact
- I like making things faster, safer and more obvious. "This query is eight times faster now" is more satisfying to me than any new feature.
- Async collaboration
- Clear pull requests, short recordings, written decisions. I optimise for teams that can ship without everyone being online at the same hour.
Outside of code
Coffee, reading, and keeping the now page current with whatever I am building or breaking this month.
