Joshua Gomes

Sr Software Engineer @ Aurelian · Vancouver, BC

Building conversational AI to automate non-emergency calls, triage, and generate dispatch reports in real time. Off-hours I'm in the Pacific Northwest, on a guitar, or chasing a soccer ball.

# bio

I'm Joshua — a senior software engineer building AI platforms for production. At Aurelian I lead full-stack delivery of conversational AI for public safety: real-time speech, LLM reasoning, GIS-aware routing, and a prompt observability console that powers the whole iteration loop. Before that, AI-driven virtual care at Codex Health and big-data privacy infrastructure at Affinity Solutions. I'm at my best when an AI feature has to be both ambitious and reliable enough to put in front of real users — sharpening evals, tightening latency, and shipping models people can actually depend on.

Sr Full-Stack Engineer

@Aurelian
May 2024 - Present·Seattle, WA

Aurelian builds conversational AI for public safety — automating non-emergency calls so dispatchers stay focused on 911. I lead full-stack delivery across speech, LLMs, and the platform's iteration loop.

  • Drove end-to-end automation of non-emergency calls (Azure TTS/STT orchestrated with LLM reasoning) — 80% reduction in dispatcher workload with high-confidence handoff on urgent incidents.
  • Built the prompt testing & observability console (versioning, evals, latency analytics) that became the team's iteration loop — 40% lower response latency and measurable quality gains across scenarios.
  • Built a GIS-aware backend (Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL) encoding jurisdiction boundaries and enforcement protocols for dynamic triage and routing by caller location.
  • Shipped the real-time dispatcher dashboard (FastAPI + Next.js) for call recording, transcript review, translation, and actionable insights — 70% improvement in issue resolution.

Software Engineer

@Codex Health, Inc.
September 2022 - April 2024·Palo Alto, CA

Codex Health builds AI-driven virtual care — tools that help clinicians deliver better outcomes at lower cost.

  • Re-architected the GCP serverless stack for multitenancy — meaningful cost reductions and headroom to onboard more clinics without per-tenant overhead.
  • Led implementation of population-health analytics, surfacing the signals clinicians needed to drive proactive, personalized interventions.

Software Engineer, Big Data

@Affinity Solutions, Inc.
August 2019 - August 2022·San Jose, CA

Affinity Solutions sells consumer purchase insights at scale. I worked on data privacy infrastructure and the big-data pipelines feeding the platform.

  • Built the DSAR / CCPA compliance framework (Python, FastAPI) — RESTful APIs for data subject access requests at consumer scale.
  • Migrated the DSAR ETL pipeline to AWS, improving performance and retiring a fragile on-prem dependency.
  • Optimized AWS EMR clusters and Airflow-orchestrated pipelines on EC2 — 20% reduction in ETL processing time.

LeadSwitchboard[ preview ]

./leadswitchboard

Operations platform for pay-per-lead agencies — automates buyer routing, real-time follow-up, and the operational glue between lead gen and closing. Replaces the spreadsheets-and-Slack-DMs status quo with a real-time pipeline so agencies stop bleeding revenue to slow follow-up and manual buyer ops.
