Josh was a great asset to his team during the time we worked together at CTIntegrations and Avaya. Navigating unfamiliar territory and finding our own way, Josh was able to successfully deploy resources in GCP, using a variety of both familiar and new dev deployment technologies. It's clear he has a real passion for forward thinking best practices in DevOps and was a thought leader on the team, when it came to how we would evolve our technology to true CI/CD processes and tech. When faced with a challenge or problem to solve, Josh doesn't back down or give up easily, and stays focused on the prize until he is successful.
