Top SchoolKarl Johnson is a pragmatic technology founder and CEO with 12+ years of hands-on experience building resilient web and cloud infrastructures since launching his first DDoS-protected hosting company at 16.

His background spans on-prem and multi-cloud deployments, CI/CD and IaC automation, WAF/CDN/HA architectures, and compliance programs like SOC II and PCI-DSS. Known for keeping a terminal and Git prompt open, he pairs operational craft with executive vision to deliver measurable uptime and performance improvements. Based in Montreal, he brings uncommon continuity from early hosting roots through modern AI and web app delivery.
