John Bent
Senior Web Developer
I have been at Envision since:
March 2020
Hobbies, activities, or interests:
Collecting records, running/cycling, painting/drawing/making zines, playing the drums, & going to concerts/plays/other forms of entertainment.
Interesting story or fact about me:
I grew up a few doors down from children’s book author James Marshall (Mrs. Nelson is Missing, George and Martha, The Cut-Ups) and he based a couple of characters on my friend Ben and myself – I would imagine because we were annoying, loud, very bad kids who caused him much agita.
Professional summary:
I studied visual art/design and wound up, early in my career, working in graphic design. I’ve always had an interest in technology and the web so around the same time as I was working in design, I was also creating websites for friends for fun. Over the years I transitioned from graphic design into web development with a focus on LAMP stack development. I get pretty excited about learning new programming languages and refining my skillset as the tools of web development expand.
