Josh Dudley is a Co-Owner at Legacy Machine Works, blending engineering and manufacturing through IT to advance automation and CNC control. He champions platform-independent, client-server solutions using modern web tech—Node-RED, FlowFuse, Node.js, WebSockets, MQTT, and IIoT—to remove legacy hardware dependencies. With a welding engineering background and roles at Abrasive Technology and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, he brings hands-on fabrication know-how to software-driven automation. He enjoys hands-on tinkering at home (IoT garage door opener, CNC Etch-a-Sketch, tractor retrofits) and building business-process automation with Node-RED, Google Apps Script, and VBA. A devoted problem-solver who loves distilling complex machines into elegant solutions, he thrives at the innovation-to-implementation frontier, guided by the Saint-Exupéry maxim. Based in Westerville, Ohio.
