About the founder
Jim Johnson
Founder of Aweeba. Navy veteran, in IT since 1998, and the person who writes most of what you read on this site.
Background
Jim’s road to Aweeba started in the Navy, working on the weapons systems of an F-18 squadron at Cecil Field, Florida, where precision and doing what you said were not optional.
He has worked in IT since 1998. Along the way he learned software development for a simple reason: he was tired of living with problems he knew how to fix. He founded Aweeba in 2020 to be the kind of IT partner he’d wanted to hire.
How he works
Listen first. Say plainly what’s wrong and what it will take. Then do what you said you’d do. Aweeba is based in Littleton and looks after businesses across the Denver metro.
