Dustin Swayze
Software developer & IT professional in Johnson City, TN.
I spent a decade running restaurants and bars, then turned the systems I built to manage them into a career in software. I hold a B.S. in Computing from East Tennessee State University and build production web platforms for real businesses — lead-generation sites, admin dashboards, and AI-assisted content tooling.
