Josh Johnson is a mechanical engineer and hands-on fabricator with 11 years of cross-disciplinary experience spanning turbine engine maintenance, vehicle suspension and armor design, research labs, and CNC-based production. Currently a CNC Setup Technician, he combines practical shop skills—welding, woodworking, CNC milling/routers and 3D printing—with control systems work (Arduino and PLCs) and custom C# data-logging tools. His background includes ground-up vehicle design, vibration/acoustic data acquisition, and suspension tuning for motorsports, giving him a strong blend of analysis, CAD, testing, and troubleshooting. An active contributor to open-source web tooling, he’s improved Gatsby’s server-side rendering and image pipeline, showing curiosity beyond mechanical domains. Colleagues rely on him to bridge designers and fabricators and to take on new technical challenges that blend hardware, software, and data.
