John D. Franklin
Founder of Aurona
I'm building software and exploring electrical equipment sourcing for data centers and energy infrastructure.
What I'm building
Aurona / Kenta
I'm building Aurona around electrical equipment sourcing and software for infrastructure project teams. Kenta is an early product designed to keep equipment changes, technical reviews, and follow-up responsibilities connected. I'm currently focused on finding our first customers.

About
I'm a self-taught builder based in Washington. My interest in computers started young, and I've continued learning through independent projects in programming, search, games, and AI applications. I've been learning C++, JavaScript, and React, and using AI coding tools as part of development.
My main focus now is Aurona: turning what I've built into something useful for real customers.
