Hello World!

I'm Josh, a back-end engineer with full stack chops! For 5 years and counting, I've helped companies write maintainable software at scale. I've worked on applications with architectures ranging from massive, on-premises-hosted monoliths to complex, cloud-based microservices.


I love seeing the projects and teams I work with on thrive. Who knows — maybe that next team will be yours! Let's talk:
