Summary
Johanna Josephine is a California-based software engineer and founder with 8 years of hands-on experience building full-stack and embedded systems, currently creating PolitiQuest, a local politics app that natively integrates council meetings and reminders to boost civic engagement. She co-founded RecBox Games where she led system software, built a TypeScript game engine boilerplate, and added KPIs and networking to lower user setup costs. At Simple Breakthrough she led small engineering teams, refactored legacy stacks to cut load times from minutes to seconds, and implemented backend architectures and smart contracts for fast chain/store sync. Comfortable across web3, backend performance tuning, and consumer-facing devices, she pairs product-focused engineering with an appetite for practical, impact-driven projects. An alumnus of 42 Silicon Valley with a physics background, she combines unconventional training and rapid prototyping instincts—she jokes that she “types on her keyboard and magic comes out,” and her work often makes complex systems feel effortless.
