John F . Morton

I’m a full-stack developer and product builder. I began in advertising — junior art director to creative director at agencies including DDB, Bozell, and Dentsu. A creative director’s whole job is judgment: which idea is worth making, and which thousand to kill. I started building projects on the side while still at agencies, fell in love with the process, and decided to do it full time.

That became JMX2, a digital production company I co-founded and ran for nearly seventeen years, delivering web apps, campaigns, and interactive work for a wide range of clients — from startups to enterprise — including Salesforce, Google, and Procore. Several of those relationships have lasted well over a decade.

I now work independently, building my own products and collaborating on new projects. I’ve gone deep on AI-integrated development. I won first place in my first hackathon out of nearly 10,000 participants, and both that project and my second entry are in production.

I also maintain several Craft CMS plugins, write regularly on SuperGeekery, and serve as an elected voter registrar in Warren, Connecticut.
