I am Josh Hurst – a full-stack software engineer and engineering leader. I specialize in early-stage companies who build cloud-native software products. I have built engineering teams from scratch, helped scale up engineering teams during prosperous times, and held them together during challenging times.
I've worked on products in healthcare, collaboration, and communication. Today I work at Trava Security – a cybersecurity startup that focuses on helping SMBs improve their security posture.
Beyond work, I spend time with my wife and children, exploring the great midwest. Hiking and playing guitar are personal hobbies. And BBQ.
About this site
This site is my personal blog. It is a space I use to describe my perspective of modern software development. You will find technical topics on cloud computing, Kubernetes, or front-end development. You will also find topics on team-building, establishing sane practices for new teams, and other intersections of people, processes, and technology.
If you want to connect, I'm most active on LinkedIn.
