Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosef Taylor is a systems engineer and former structural engineer with 11 years of experience who combines production software skills (C#, Python, JavaScript) with deep domain expertise in specialty and computational structural design. He has driven workflow innovation at Buro Happold—authoring C# tools, interop toolkits, and large localized datasets—and transitioned to building industry-facing software at Cornerstone Building Brands after an intensive software-focused residency at Recurse Center. Josef is fluent in bridging engineering and code: delivering built projects from concept to construction while also shipping open-source object models and automation that make design teams more efficient. He brings practical hands-on fabrication and instrumentation experience (carpentry, lab testing, LabView/Matlab) that informs robust, constructible software solutions. Based in New York, he’s comfortable pairing across languages and disciplines and favors pragmatic tool choices that simplify UX without sacrificing engineering rigor.
