John G. West III

Software Developer & U.S. Army Veteran

From leading infantry teams in combat to leading software development projects, I bring a unique combination of military discipline, leadership experience, and technical expertise to every challenge.

My Journey

After serving honorably for 10 years as a U.S. Army Infantryman, including combat deployments during Operation Iraqi Freedom, I transitioned into technology with the same dedication I brought to military service. I earned my B.S. in Computing Science from Sam Houston State University while building practical skills in software development.

Beyond Code

I'm also an entrepreneur, running Oinkenbach Acres, a profitable livestock business where I apply data-driven decision making to optimize operations. This experience led me to develop the Pig Feed App, combining my agricultural knowledge with software development skills to create real-world solutions.

Technical Expertise

I specialize in desktop applications, database management, and creating robust software solutions using C++, Java, Python, SQL, and Ada. My military background instills a focus on reliability, attention to detail, and the ability to perform under pressure—qualities that translate directly to writing clean, maintainable code.

What Drives Me

I'm passionate about solving real problems through technology. Whether it's optimizing farm operations, managing complex data systems, or building user-friendly applications, I approach each project with the same strategic thinking and commitment to excellence that defined my military career.
