Top SchoolRussell Johnson is a graphics and tools-focused software engineer with nine years of experience and a background in real-time interactive simulation from DigiPen.

Comfortable across C#, ASP.NET Core, WPF, and modern front-end stacks (React/TypeScript), he has modernized legacy UIs and implemented REST APIs and database migrations for production systems. Russell also maintains hands-on hardware experience with devkit firmware and installer bug hunting, a detail that reflects deep systems-level fluency beyond typical application work.
