Joshua St John

I’m a Product Director with 15+ years of experience taking technically ambitious hardware and software platforms from early feasibility to global enterprise adoption.

​

My work sits at the intersection of R&D, embedded systems, manufacturing, and platform software. I’ve led 0-to-1 commercialization of AI-enabled products, built and developed global product teams, worked directly with ODM partners through EVT/DVT and factory recovery phases, and helped turn complex physical systems into scalable developer platforms through SDKs and ecosystem partnerships with companies like Adobe and NVIDIA.

​

Today, I serve as Product Director, Strategist at HP Inc. in the Advanced Compute & Solutions division, where I focus on creative workflows, edge computer vision, and AI systems.

​

I’m based in Encinitas, California, and have lived and worked internationally across Brazil, Hong Kong, India, and the UK.

​

Material Saint John is my personal site — a place to share selected work, product leadership experience, and the systems I’ve helped bring into the world.
