Matthew Parris, Director, Advanced Manufacturing - Test Systems - Industry 4.0, GE Appliances

I got connected with Josh when I was working at Intuity Medical and we needed OT support to standup a new machine network. Come to find out he was the brainchild of much of the original OT design at Chobani that I maintained and worked very closely with. From helping me architect world class, high uptime, reliable, redundant networks to patiently teaching me how to set up a NAT Device more times than I can count, he is a person you want to have in your toolkit. I've taken his training multiple times and it's one everyone working in the Automation space should attend at some point, you will learn so much. And Josh delivers it with passion that gets you excited about talking through the details of what an IP address truly means. Josh also was instrumental in looking outside of traditional platforms to find me remote IO to satisfy 50+ panels needed in a very short timeline at Redwood. We would not have been able to start these plants up in the time we did if Josh didn't introduce us to ODOT IO. If you ever need any help figuring out a tough communications/networking issue, or need some advice on a new project and how to architect it, or want a full turnkey solution on the OT network side, Josh and Traceroute are the way to go. He has saved me so many times and that resulted in less downtime in whatever factory I was in.

Alicia Lomas, Director of Controls Engineering, Redwood Materials

Josh was a lifesaver to get a new portion of the OT Network at Smurfit Kappa Forney configured and working correctly in 2020 and 2021. Without Josh's on-site OT network support, the multi-million dollar industrial control system upgrade project I was leading would have lead to costly production downtime and delays. Having Josh and his team on-site during commissioning paid for itself several times over. I can't recommend Josh and Traceroute enough for OT networking project implementation! It's definitely money well spent for OT project risk mitigation.

Dmitri Malinin, Process Control Engineer, Smurfit Kappa North America

Never ceases to amaze me when folks in our business have a grasp of what customers actually want, versus what those folks want to sell them. Josh is definitely in the business of solving problems, not creating/promoting solutions to problems that don't exist.

I look forward to further conversation with him/Traceroute and I reserve the right to pick his brain for great product enhancements like several I heard today regarding our OT Cybersecurity products.

Jeffrey Smith, Chief Technical Officer, DYNICS, Inc.

While working with Josh, he was an indispensable resource when we required deep technical expertise in the industrial networking and security space. At Anadarko we are always looking for new solutions to emerging ICS security threats; Josh's depth and breadth of knowledge in both industrial networking infrastructure and products helped us immensely with our projects. I would recommend Josh for any project where specialized networking and security expertise is needed in this rapidly evolving space.

Eric Forner, ICS/SCADA Network and Security Engineer

Josh has been incredibly responsive and resourceful when working on advanced networking solutions for Locus Energy. His anticipation of complications has allowed us to smoothly roll new products across vendors and have confidence that we will have support in the event that additional escalation is required.

Danny Aibar, Software Integration Engineer at Bazefield Americas

Josh possesses the very rare combination of being extremely smart and capable while having the ability to communicate easily and explain technical things to people (like me) in ways that make them easy to understand. And he does it without being the least bit condescending. Josh truly knows his “stuff”, has expert level knowledge of the latest Industrial Automation/Industrial Networking and Security trends and technologies, and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone needing his expertise.

Steve Spoonts, Regional Sales Manager at Quabbin Wire & Cable

Josh Varghese is one of the most intelligent networking guys I have been lucky and have had the pleasure to know over the past 6 years while working here at Chobani. His extensive knowledge, expertise and professional services are second to none. his had the ability and skill set to tackle any network problem whether it be on the IT\OT side of things. He also is very unique for someone of this skillset to also be able to communicate as effectively as he does and has a calm cool manner about him regardless of how tense a situation might be. I highly recommend Josh to anyone who may ever need networking assistance. One of the best around!!!!!

Hugh Roddy, Vice President of Global Engineering & Project Management- Chobani

Josh has been working in automation field and I'm so impressed about this networking expertise which always helps customers overcome challenges and reach the ultimate goal with success.

Alex Chang, Technology Business Entrepreneur (Pepwave, Peplink, Unitech)

Josh was the network design expert on 2 of our production manufacturing projects. It was a real pleasure to work with him because he was careful and methodical as very good with industrial network design. I enjoyed working with him a lot. :)

Bri Rolston, ICS Security SME & Researcher

I worked with Josh and his company on a telemetry upgrade at a large water facility. I was very impressed with Josh and his company. He assisted us with the design and implementation of multiple telemetry sites. In addition to the remote telemetry sites, he designed the telemetry backbone at the main water plant. I would highly recommend using Josh for any projects related to telemetry modems or networking.

Rodney Givens, Sr. Electrical Engineer-Officer at Givens-Kingree Automation, Inc.

I really can't say enough to describe the positive experiences, and how much I valued and enjoyed working with Josh. In advance of introducing Josh to a customer, I would describe him as a bright & talented engineer, articulate, with a strong knowledge and deductive ability for our multiple technologies & their applications. Without exception, the feedback I'd receive was that I underrate Josh... nothing but consistent rave reviews during a five year tenure we shared at INS. A team player with an enthusiastic commitment.

Paul Kutch, Director of Industrial IoT Solutions Sales at B+B SmartWorx powered by Advantech

We hired Josh as the network lead on a project to connect our new Amazon Web Services hosted application to our cellular modems on a Verizon Wireless private network through VPN configuration of a virtual Cisco router. After the initial project, Josh also helped us identify the source of a performance issue through detailed network packet capture and analysis. Josh provided intense expertise to "glue" various portions of our solution together to provide us with a new robust platform to help grow our business. Josh was very willing to help wherever necessary to help make the project a success. We look forward to working with Josh on future projects.

Peter McCormick, Wireless Sensing and Product Development

There are experts, then there are experts... Josh has helped us immensely in the area of industrial networking. Through his efforts, we are rapidly developing strong, secure and worry-free networks for our manufacturing sites. Josh brings a unique blend of technical superiority coupled with an uncompromising commitment to his customer base. He is thoughtful and brings solutions that were referred to by several industry experts at the recent PackExpo in Chicago as part of the industry's technical 1%. He is a genuine asset to any organization he would choose to align himself with. As stated, there are experts, then - there is Josh.

Doug Harris, Director of Managed Services at ECS Environmental Solutions

One of the most technically talented engineers I have everworked with. Josh's great communication skills, natural talent insolving problems and his ability to expand technologies in the networking and communications field is unsurpassed.

Morris (MO) Moore, Manager Software and IoT Solutions at Industrial Networking Solutions

Josh was an extremely valuable asset in setting up an Ethernet ring for our industrial control system installation at a leading data center provider. He was very thorough and professional. Josh spent 3 hours solving an issue that was baffling internal IT professionals. I would highly recommend Josh to other individuals in need of industrial IT help.

Michael Hahn, Sr. Applications Engineer at Three Phase, LLC

We were having problems with our SCADA network intermittently crashing for brief periods and we called Josh. He quickly identified and corrected the problems and provided suggestions for enhancing our redundant network. He is an expert in his field and I recommend him highly.
