About

Hi, I'm Walter. I build software for small businesses.

I started out in accounting and finance, not computer science. I graduated from The University of Southern Mississippi with a 4.00 GPA as a double major, then spent a year as a bank examiner with the FDIC, reading the financial statements of community banks and the small businesses they lend to.

Along the way I kept seeing the same thing: good businesses held back by spreadsheets, copy and paste, and software that almost fit. So I started building the tools myself. 50+ projects later, that is what I do as Johnson Logic, through my company, Johnson Ecommerce LLC.

Why the finance background matters

I read your business before I write code.

As a bank examiner I learned to look at a business the way a lender does: where the money comes from, where it leaks, and which risks matter. That habit shapes everything I build.

It is why a tax lien tool screens properties on value ratios instead of just listing them, why a grant database scores every opportunity on its odds of winning, and why a rental company's admin dashboard was designed around how bookings actually turn into revenue.

You get software that fits the economics of your business, from someone who understands what a margin, a payout schedule or a compliance deadline really means.

How I work

Simple promises. Kept every time.

One person, start to finish

You talk directly to the person who designs and builds your project. No account managers and no hand-offs.

Business first

Every feature has to earn its place by saving time, winning customers or making money. Software is the tool, not the goal.

Working previews, early

You click through a real version of your project early, then watch it grow. Launch day has no surprises.

Plain English

No jargon and no black boxes. You always know what is being built, why, and how far along it is.

Beyond the code

What matters most. And what keeps me sharp.

Faith

Jesus comes first.

My faith in Jesus Christ is the most important thing in my life. It comes before my career and before anything else on this page, and everything else is built on it.

It is also where my work ethic comes from. I want the work I hand over to be honest, careful and complete, whether or not anyone checks it.

Marriage

Married May 2, 2026.

I married my wife before God, our families and our friends, and she is one of the greatest blessings in my life.

I see marriage as a covenant, not a contract. Keeping it means showing up every day, keeping my word and putting someone else first. Those are the same habits I bring to every client.

Marathon

2:36:01. Boston qualified.

On December 6, 2025, I ran the St. Jude Memphis Marathon in 2 hours, 36 minutes and 1 second. That is 26.2 miles at 5:58 per mile, fast enough to qualify for Boston.

A time like that is made over months of early alarms and miles nobody sees. I approach projects the same way: a clear goal, steady reps, and finishing what I start.
