Hey there!
I'm josh.

I'm a software engineer based out of Austin TX. I'm currently Community Engineer at PlanetScale spreading the word about the fastest and most reliable databases available in the cloud built by the brightest people around.

Past Work

From 2024 to early 2026 I was CTO at Manifold, building a decentralized permission-less compute marketplace. We wrote a joint paper with Intel on decentralized compute on untrusted hardware.

From mid 2022 to early 2024 I was proudly the CTO at Biblish, where we built the home of literature for the 21st century. During my time at Biblish we launched Papertrail and Submissions.

In 2023 I formed my own LLC called Brunus Labs to take on contract work. During my time at Brunus we built internal time tracking applications, lightweight POS systems, discord bots, marketing sites and more.

Before Brunus Labs I was a Web and Application Developer at Cleveland Clinic. I created multiple web applications and moved all of our teams projects from TFVC to git (that wasn't fun) amongst other things.
