It was Mercy, hence why Genji continuously thanks Dr. Ziegler. Zenyatta healed Genji spiritually. Mercy healed him physically

I was thinking maybe with the introduction of echo maybe she put the pieces together?
It has been directly stated numerous times that it was mercy. Mercy and Genji even have an in game interaction involving it.

Where was is said directly? Genji’s bio states:
Hanzo believed that he had killed his brother, but Genji was rescued by Overwatch and the intervention of Dr. Angela Ziegler. The global security force saw Genji as a potential asset in its ongoing operations to combat the Shimada clan. As Genji’s injuries left him clinging to life, Overwatch offered to rebuild his body in exchange for his help. He was put through an extensive process of cyberization, which enhanced his natural speed and agility and augmented his superlative ninja skills.
Mercy is a surgeon, not a cyberneticist. She may have been the ones to surgically attach the limbs and armor plating, but they were not designed by her, nor was she in a position to make the offer to give him upgrades. All she did was save his life.

For that matter wouldn’t we also find out who did torb and mcCree’s? It couldn’t be echo since it didn’t know about mcCree’s arm…
from Mercies bio:
A guardian angel to those who come under her care, Dr. Angela Ziegler is a peerless healer, a brilliant scientist, and a staunch advocate for peace.
Ziegler rose to become the head of surgery at a prominent Swiss hospital before pioneering a breakthrough in the field of applied nanobiology that radically improved the treatment of life-threatening illnesses and injuries. It was this expertise that attracted the attention of Overwatch.
Because her parents had been taken by war, Ziegler was opposed to the organization’s militaristic approach to keeping global peace. Ultimately, she recognized that Overwatch offered her the opportunity to save lives on a much larger scale. As Overwatch’s head of medical research, Angela sought to leverage her work for healing in frontline crises. The result was the Valkyrie swift-response suit, which Ziegler herself piloted on many Overwatch missions.
lets see.
confirmed scientist, check
invented nanobiology, check
developed the valkyrie suit, check
I think it’s fairly safe to assume she would be capable of designing/building prosthetics.

Just because she’s a prodigy in one area doesn’t mean she can do everything. Building prosthetics is closer to engineering than surgery. Also she didn’t “invent” nanobiology, she just made breakthroughs. Winston is also a scientist, Torbjorn is an engineer. Either of them could have designed Genji’s body, or it could have been one of Overwatch’s other scientists that aren’t playable characters.

torbjorn? like we know that torb and mercy have done collaborations with tech before (i.e. ana’s sniper rifle), and we know that torb and mercy are close friends to a degree (mercy visiting torb after losing his arm and while this can be written off as a doctor visiting a patient, torb’s letter speaks of mercy in friendlier terms), plus torb himself has a mechanical arm.

One assumes there are other people in the Overwatch universe besides the main heroes.
In particular, very effective prosthetics seem to be widely available so it seems likely they significantly predate the time period the game is set in.
Mercy visited him in the hospital when she was 14. She wasn’t a doctor visiting her patient, she was a child visiting a family friend.

Doomfist is 98% made of cybernetics under fake skin. Maybe guy who made genji also now works for Talon.

Mercy is undoubtly the one who saved. Cybernetics were probably attached by her and designing them was probably a joint effort between her and Torbjorn
