Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Johnston is an experienced engineer and founder with over three decades of hands-on practice designing scalable asynchronous systems from silicon to cloud, now leading Vectaport in San Carlos. He blends hardware-level expertise in Verilog and asynchronous logic with modern Go and C++ backend development, specializing in flow-based, locally coordinated real-time data and interactive spatial decision systems. A tenacious debugger and architect, Scott has a track record of replacing global-clock designs for many-core fabrics, bootstrapping voltage-scalable IoT logic, and resolving subtle concurrency issues in goroutine-heavy services. Pragmatic and product-focused, he pairs deep low-level intuition with user-facing UI and imaging work, reflecting a career that repeatedly crosses boundaries between hardware, firmware, and distributed software.
