Ted Johnson is a veteran software developer and entrepreneur with over three decades of product and engineering leadership, currently cofounder of Trickster Cards building online multiplayer trick-taking card platforms. He blends hands-on development—particularly in graphics and HTML5 game/app development—with entrepreneurial product strategy honed at startups and large-scale organizations like Visio, Trumba, and Microsoft. At Microsoft he led the Web Graphics team that delivered IE9’s hardware-accelerated HTML5, and earlier co-founded Visio and helped bring PageMaker to Windows, showing a consistent pattern of shipping foundational software. Based in Bellevue, WA, he pairs deep systems and UI experience with a knack for turning classic desktop capabilities into modern web and app experiences. An understated thread through his career is repeatedly founding or rebuilding product platforms that scale from niche professional tools to broadly used consumer and enterprise offerings.
