Principal Architect & Engineering Leader • Cloud Infrastructure Specialist • Go Developer
I’m Josh — a Principal Architect and Manager at Bitly, where I lead teams building large-scale, resilient systems.
My background is rooted in infrastructure and backend systems — from bare-metal Linux to distributed services running in Kubernetes. I'm obsessed with clean interfaces, long-lived systems, and teams that run like well-tuned machines.
I work in Go, thrive in Linux, and design infrastructure that scales.
- Clear, opinionated design.
- Systems that shut down cleanly.
- Tracing everything.
- Automation over tribal knowledge.
- A team that owns its tools and runs its own pager.
If you're building infrastructure, Go tools, or curious about how to scale teams as well as systems — feel free to reach out.
