@keatonjohnson

Robotics programmer at OCTOPUZ who develops custom Python post-processors and engineers offline programming environments for industrial robots.

At OCTOPUZ, I work with clients on-site and remotely to engineer offline programming environments for applications including welding, machining, and additive manufacturing.

I develop custom post-processors in Python to match robot code output on the shop floor, and troubleshoot and evaluate the operation and programming of more than 14 robot brands.

Previously, I programmed industrial robots at Steinway & Sons and Neoset Designs, and worked on CNC fabrication for architectural and sculptural projects at Precision Stone and Gamma NYC.
