Summary
Tor Johnson is a strategic technology executive and managing partner with a decade of hands-on experience building and scaling global engineering teams, cloud architectures, and secure enterprise systems. He blends product-minded leadership with deep technical ownership—architecting multi-VPC AWS deployments, Node-based APIs, and React front-ends while driving CI/CD, QA automation, and security programs that meet regulated standards like NIST. Tor has repeatedly taken small teams to production-grade organizations (e.g., reorganizing engineering at Siin and directing 70+ people at Karsun) and brings practical experience across digital product, eCommerce, and federal platforms. He teaches and shapes curricula at General Assembly, signaling a commitment to mentoring and talent development beyond day-to-day delivery. Based in Reston, VA, he runs Daikoku Design where he still codes and ships client-facing systems, uniquely combining boutique consultancy agility with enterprise security rigor.
