Josh Pirog

Senior Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer focused on Cloud, System Architecture, and Full-Stack Development. I translate complex business requirements into professional end-to-end software systems for enterprise organizations.

01About

I'm a software engineer with eight years of experience turning ambiguous problems into systems people rely on. Most of my work lives at the seams, where services talk to each other, where data has to stay correct under load, and where a good interface makes something complex feel simple.

I've shipped contact center infrastructure handling tens of thousands of calls a day, built solid tools and workflows for my teams, and stayed relentless about efficiency and customer satisfaction. I read the postmortems, write the design docs, and collaborate across disciplines to get the job done.
