Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosh Fester is a CEO and hands-on technologist with 23 years scaling high-performance web platforms and 11 years in senior technical leadership roles. As founder of North Central Positronics he architects static-first sites that load in milliseconds, improve Core Web Vitals, and translate performance into measurable SEO and conversion gains for global brands. He’s launched and exited AI-driven learning products, built streaming infrastructure that scaled to six-figure concurrent users, and repeatedly rescued startups as a fractional CTO to turn ideas into funded, acquisitive outcomes. Comfortable from single-file deployments to full-stack architecture, he blends product strategy, CRO, and devops to keep teams small and impact large. Based in Colorado, he’s obsessive about performance—both in code and business—and prefers to keep engineering teams hands-on rather than hidden behind account managers. An early Ember/Parse contributor and serial founder, he pairs deep implementation experience with a track record of rapid, investor-winning launches.
