The Bishop

Justin Rolston

Senior Software Engineering Manager & Church Elder

I build teams and software in service of something larger than the roadmap.


The man they
call Bishop

Faith & engineering, held together

I’m a Senior Software Engineering Manager with a heart for serving God and His people. Across 15+ years at Maranatha Community Church I’ve served as elder, deacon, teacher, community group leader, and youth director — and the nickname “Bishop” grew out of that calling to servant leadership.

I believe technology is a gift meant to build up the body of Christ. When I step away from the keyboard, you’ll usually find me on a run, clearing my head one mile at a time.

Leadership
& craft

How I lead engineers

I lead engineers the way I’d want to be led — with clarity, trust, and a bias for shipping. My work centers on building high-performing teams, making sound architectural calls, and delivering complex systems end to end, from design through full-stack execution.

What I care about most is mentorship: creating the kind of environment where both people and the software they build are given room to flourish.


Web design & management

Beyond my own projects, I design, build, and manage websites for small businesses and organizations — taking a site from the first mockup through launch, hosting, and the ongoing updates that keep it working long after it ships.

Client site Coop’s Handyman Services

Full-service handyman in Ohio — site design, build, and ongoing management.


Beyond the
terminal

Away from managing teams, I’m happiest deep in theology and the study of God’s Word, and I love talking through where faith and technology intersect. I’m a devoted runner, a mentor to young engineers, and — when fall rolls around — a loud and unwavering fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes. Go Bucks!

Theology, engineering leadership, Ohio State football, or a project worth building together — I’d genuinely love to hear from you.
