Bio
Alex Crane
Josh Thompson and I worked together in a very hectic startup environment for over two years. Josh is the kind of person that will go way outside of his comfort zone to make sure a project is successful. Aside from being a fantastic firmware engineer, he always took extra time to work closely with hardware engineers, software engineers, and me (the UX/UI guy) to ensure that the work he was doing was appropriate for the project and to offer any insights that might be helpful. Josh was a pleasure to work with and even after moving on to different jobs we've maintained a friendship. He would be a great asset to any team.
