Hi, I'm Josh. I'm a software engineer, skier and photographer.
I'm currently building Swarm, an AI IDE.
Previously, I built Uber's load testing system, Hailstorm. I was an engineering manager at Gem. And most recently I was cofounder of Engines, building a repo setup agent.
You can find my Substack here.
