Joshua Jones

Full-stack engineer, six years fully remote. I build the parts of a system where correctness is the product. Most recently that has meant provider-agnostic object storage — one interface, swappable S3/GCS/Azure backends, hand-rolled request signers with no cloud SDKs — so a platform hardwired to one vendor could be sold to regulated and on-prem customers. Before that, re-architecting who owns a value when two systems both think they do, which is how you stop a lost-update race for good instead of patching it. I also build AI systems with explicit safety boundaries: a multi-agent automation fleet whose executor tier is human-gated by construction, and a multimodal reviewer that reads visual diffs and reports what changed — advisory by design, never blocking. Automation earns trust by being structurally unable to do the dangerous thing, not by promising not to. I start features with a kickoff with the owner to get clear on the problem and the outcome, then own delivery through to production — with reviewers across timezones. Toronto, Eastern Time, full overlap with US hours.
