J. HUNTER JOHNSON LLC · INDEPENDENT CONSULTING
Practical help with software, AI, and data.
I’m J. Hunter Johnson. I help organizations build useful software, put AI to work, and make their data easier to trust.
THE WAY I WORK
Start with the problem.
Understand the goal and the people who need the result.
Make it concrete.
Turn the next useful step into something you can review.
Build for what comes next.
Keep maintenance, handoff, and everyday use in view.
SERVICES
A clear problem. The right kind of help.
Software & integrations
Build the missing piece. Improve what you have.
Custom programming, web development, and integrations for organizations with a practical problem to solve. Start with the people, the existing system, and what needs to work better.
AI adoption & training
Make AI useful in real work.
Find a suitable use case, prototype a workflow, and give people the training to use it thoughtfully. Define how outputs will be evaluated and where human judgment belongs.
Data architecture & modernization
Give your data a clearer foundation.
Make sense of fragmented data, plan better models and integrations, and approach legacy modernization with a clear picture of ownership, quality, and downstream needs.
SELECTED WORK
Practical problems. Thoughtful solutions.
Three examples across software, AI, and data—from community work and a product of my own.
PROGRAMMING
Making an interrupted save recoverable
For the Dayton Hash community website, I led improvements to saves that succeed even when confirmation never reaches the browser. The interface, API, and database work together so users can retry the original request and recover its result.
AI INTEGRATION
Useful drafts. Deliberate human decisions.
In CareerTrellis, my job-search application, AI helps prepare résumé and cover-letter drafts from the user’s supplied experience. Users review and edit the materials, submit applications themselves, and confirm their status.
DATA ARCHITECTURE
Modernizing without discarding history
For the Miami Valley Orienteering Club, I helped modernize the website while preserving access to historical results. The work separated durable records from presentation, supported gradual migration, and retained established document links.
CLIENT ENGAGEMENT
AI training-material development
Training-material development for OpenAI, as a contractor through Carahsoft. Deliverables are private.
Earlier independent consulting includes business reporting, data integration, and spreadsheet models for game design.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE PRACTICE
Senior experience. Personal involvement.
My background spans enterprise data architecture, consulting, software development, and AI adoption. Through J. Hunter Johnson LLC, I bring that experience to clearly scoped contract work.
You work directly with me. I’m based in the Dayton, Ohio area, with a long-standing interest in language, games, and how things fit together.
A GOOD PLACE TO START
What are you working on?
Tell me what you want to accomplish, what is getting in the way, and any timing or constraints. We can discuss whether I can help.
