Senior🎓
Top SchoolZack Johnson is a Developer Relations Lead and solutions-focused engineer with a BSEE from Clemson and over a decade of hands-on experience bridging hardware, product, and community. He cut his teeth in the maker movement as an instructor and consultant in digital fabrication, then helped found OpenROV—launching the first widely recognized consumer "underwater drone" via successful crowdfunding and scaling product, production, and operations. At Sofar Ocean he moved from production and sales into solutions engineering, building remote sub-surface data integrations used by nonprofits, researchers, and government programs. Now at Bristlemouth he focuses on developer relations, translating complex ocean sensing hardware and APIs into usable developer experiences. He combines technical breadth across embedded systems, rapid prototyping, and field deployments with a pragmatic product mindset for real-world validation. Based in San Francisco, he’s comfortable moving between the shop floor, the lab, and the developer community to turn physical prototypes into operational systems.
