John Lester Bodonal

I am a Full-Stack Developer with a strong foundation in the MERN stack and hands-on experience across web applications, CMS development, and low-level systems engineering. I graduated Computer Engineering and upskill from a full-stack bootcamp where I built and deployed responsive web applications using React, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, while following proper Git workflows and software development lifecycle practices.

Professionally, I have worked on CMS and data-driven projects involving large volumes of sensitive client data, where accuracy, structure, and reliability were critical. I handled data processing, reporting, and administrative workflows, strengthening my attention to detail and experience with real-world business systems.

In addition, I have experience as a Junior Rust Developer working on a custom Linux initiative, where I developed core system components in Rust, including an init system that runs as PID 1 during boot. My work involved system initialization, disk partitioning, service orchestration using TOML-based configurations, and testing in QEMU environments, while ensuring compatibility with boot components such as SHIM.

This combination of full-stack web development, CMS and data systems, and low-level Linux/Rust engineering allows me to approach problems holistically—from user-facing interfaces to backend services and system-level execution.
