Attack the Problem Mindset with Justin Thomson

In this episode, we sit down with Justin Thomson to track his journey from the early days of WASP Technologies to his current role with Logan Pass Construction pushing the boundaries of the industry. We dig into the philosophy behind building a Linux-based Niagara station and why Justin leans so heavily into open-source foundations for critical infrastructure. It’s a great look at how technical curiosity turns into industry-changing hardware.We also get into the heavy lifting of data center construction and what the AI explosion actually means for the physical layer of buildings. Justin shares his take on future-proofing infrastructure and why we need to move past the "happenstance" of how people land in building automation and start being more intentional about the technology we deploy.To wrap things up, we shift from the server room to the boardroom. Justin breaks down his approach to leadership and communication through the lens of a control loop—using integration and feedback as metaphors for managing high-pressure projects and building better teams.Logic Link Collective:⁠Donate to Stacks+Joules⁠⁠Get Involved
