Augusto Expands to Traverse City

Welcoming Justin Wolgamott to the Augusto Team

Justin Wolgamott is a Traverse City area native and resident, and the newest member of the Augusto team.

As a technical lead, Justin is responsible for ensuring client vision translates into digital products that deliver value quickly and stay within budget. He enjoys working on SaaS products that leverage cloud architecture and well-designed data systems.

A Background Rooted in Technology

Justin’s earliest exposure to technology came in high school, where he helped build his school’s website during the early days of the internet. That experience sparked a long-term interest in software development.

He then went on to study software development and information security at Northwestern Michigan College and Ferris State University. After graduating, Justin built nearly a decade of experience working in health tech and financial services.

Joining Augusto and Driving Product Innovation

In August 2018, Justin joined Augusto as a technical lead on the development of OrbitalRX, a pharmacy automation solution. Augusto’s product-focused approach to software development proved to be a strong fit.

Since then, Justin has contributed to numerous engagements with organizations bringing industry-disrupting digital products to market. In 2019, he officially joined Augusto on a full-time basis.

 

Why Traverse City Matters to Augusto

Augusto’s continued investment in Traverse City is driven by the region’s growing technology ecosystem. One example is TCNewTech, a local pitch meetup where technologists share ideas and business ventures. Augusto has both presented at and sponsored the program.

The area has also attracted notable investment. Detroit native Casey Cowell, founder of U.S. Robotics Inc., has invested $6 million in four growing Traverse City tech companies due to his love for the region.

 

A Home Base at 20Fathoms

Cowell also helped found 20Fathoms, a tech incubator that supports the development of new business ideas by providing mentorship, business services, and funding connections to young tech companies. 20Fathoms is the perfect location for Justin to have a home base for his Augusto work.

 

Looking Ahead in Northern Michigan

Augusto is excited to be a part of the Northern Michigan tech and digital product community and looking forward to many future relationships with the incredible entrepreneurs, businesses, and talented folks that call Northern Michigan home.
