About me

Hi, I'm Joshua, a Software Engineer and tech enthusiast! From navigating storms on a Merchant Marine ship to navigating code, my journey here has been an unexpected adventure. The rhythm of the sea sparked a new curiosity, a desire to create rather than simply traverse. Programming promised the tools to make a positive impact, to shape the world in meaningful ways. So, I traded nautical charts for code, and now strive to build solutions that leave a positive ripple in the lives of others.

Work

Software Engineer

Codex Health, Inc.•September 2022 - Present
    Codex Health, headquartered in Palo Alto, CA, leads the charge in AI-driven healthcare solutions, particularly in virtual care. As a Software Engineer, I've had the privilege of advancing our mission to harness technology for enhanced patient outcomes and cost reduction.
    I've had the opportunity to work with multiple technologies, including optimizing GCP's serverless architecture for multitenancy, resulting in substantial cost reductions and enhanced scalability. This technical achievement seamlessly aligns with our overarching goal of empowering clinicians to leverage AI-driven insights for superior patient care in virtual settings. Additionally, I led the implementation of population health analytics, which helped drive proactive interventions and tailored healthcare strategies, ultimately driving improved outcomes and cost efficiency within virtual care environments.

    I particularly enjoy working in healthcare because it allows me to directly witness how technology enhances the quality of life for individuals. Seeing the tangible impact of innovative solutions on patient outcomes is incredibly fulfilling. Whether it's through optimizing workflows, implementing AI-driven insights, or developing new tools, every contribution feels meaningful knowing it ultimately contributes to improving healthcare delivery and patient experiences.

Software Engineer, Big Data

Affinity Solutions, Inc.•August 2019 - August 2022
    Affinity Solutions, headquartered in San Jose, CA, is a leader in consumer purchase insights, empowering businesses to understand consumer behavior and drive revenue growth.

    As a Software Engineer specializing in Big Data, I've led key initiatives to ensure data privacy compliance and optimize data processing and analysis. I coordinated the development of a robust DSAR/CCPA framework, leveraging Python and FastAPI for RESTful API creation. Additionally, I streamlined data processing and storage by migrating the DSAR ETL pipeline to AWS, resulting in improved performance. Furthermore, I optimized AWS EMR clusters and streamlined data pipelines, reducing ETL processing time by 20% and automating data workflows with Apache Airflow on AWS EC2 instances. These efforts have significantly enhanced efficiency and effectiveness in leveraging consumer insights for business success at Affinity Solutions.
