Hi, I am Tiffini Johnson

I am a Full Stack Software Engineer with a strong foundation in curiosity, adaptability, and a deep passion for programming and web development. Most recently, I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to three distinct projects as a Full Stack Engineer, gaining experience across diverse domains and refining my technical and collaborative skills. My journey into software began with a background in environmental research and STEM program coordination, which eventually led me to pursue a full-stack Java certification through The Software Guild—where I discovered my true passion for software development. My experience includes building and maintaining a healthcare data integration system using HL7v2 and FHIR standards, as well as contributing to a standardized testing platform and a content management system for federal grants. These projects reinforced my focus on writing clean, maintainable code, implementing test automation, and maintaining thorough documentation—all critical to delivering scalable solutions and enabling effective team collaboration. In addition to my Java-based full-stack development expertise, I’m actively expanding my skill set with .NET/C# and Python, both in and outside of work. I enjoy designing and developing applications independently, but I especially thrive in collaborative environments that encourage diverse approaches to problem-solving. Prior to my transition into software, I led initiatives at Delaware State University focused on STEM outreach, student retention, and academic website management—experiences that honed my leadership, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills. I am committed to continuous learning and growth, and I bring not only technical proficiency but also a people-first mindset to every team I join. With a proven ability to adapt, lead, and solve complex problems, I’m confident in my ability to contribute meaningfully to any software engineering team.

I have obtained both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in the environmental sciences and energy and environmental policy. For four years, I served as the program and web coordinator for the Center for Integrated Biological and Environmental Research at Delaware State University. During this time, I discovered my passion for web development through my interactions with the systems I relied on in my day-to-day work. My recent Java certification allowed me to build on these skills and prove to myself that I am capable of excelling in this field. Additionally, working as a coordinator for a four-year university over the past five years has prepared me for a range of management tasks, including processing employment and payroll paperwork, managing vendor relationships, meeting planning and development, and personnel management. My experience in a college environment has also taught me to quickly adapt to changes in policy, be responsive to the needs of faculty, staff, and students, and thrive in both team-based and independent work environments.

I have many many many interests beyond coding including reading comics, manga, and books, playing video games, watching lots of tv and just generally enjoying all sorts of fiction. I also enjoy cooking and baking (when the time calls for it), and riding my electric scooter.
