The short version

Josh is the person who takes a big, fuzzy idea and turns it into a plan a team can actually build.

He spent five years at dotloop, where he and Steve first worked together, then joined Astronomer as an Implementation Specialist and went on to lead its Data Propulsion Lab. From there he spent more than four years as Lead Product Manager at 84.51˚, and since 2023 he's been a Technical Product Manager at Determined AI, which was acquired by HPE.

His work sits where product, data, and customers meet: SaaS platform roadmaps, enterprise deployments, and the implementation details that decide whether something works in the real world.

How he works

Ship the thing that matters

Value and viability first

Before anything gets built, it has to be worth building and possible to deliver.

Decisions backed by data

Data-informed decisions, with the evidence close at hand when priorities get debated.

Everyone in the loop

Stakeholder management as a real discipline, so engineering, customers, and leadership want the same outcome.

Implementation is the product

Years of customer implementation and enterprise deployments mean he plans for how things land, not just how they demo.
