Jeremy K. Johnson¶
a.k.a., "Twisting Mercury"
Engineering leader, software architect, and builder of tools that make developers more effective.
I started on a factory floor in Texas, taught myself to code, and spent the next two decades building distributed systems, scaling engineering teams, and breaking out of every technology silo I landed in. These days I'm deep in AI-assisted development tooling — building agents that actually work.
-
Moving business logic out of stored procedures and into asynchronous application-tier processing to achieve a dramatic throughput improvement.
-
Life took me from Seattle to rural Mississippi, where I'm rebuilding a workshop and getting back to work on Mnemonic.
-
Two decades of engineering leadership, from hands-on coding to scaling teams and systems. Case studies, war stories, and lessons learned.
-
Side projects and explorations in AI-assisted development, deterministic agent coordination, and developer tooling.

Follow my progress, wins, and face-plants as I build in the open.
