Description
Josue is a backend/platform engineer and developer advocate with over 10 years of experience building systems at scale across startups and growth-stage companies like Uber and DoorDash. At Uber, he worked as a Developer Advocate for Cadence, supporting adoption, scaling distributed systems, and troubleshooting production issues, including integration with AI/ML teams for fault-tolerant pipelines and fine-tuning LLMs. At DoorDash, he contributed to the migration from Django to Kotlin microservices and designed a modular refund rules engine.

He is now seeking a hands-on engineering role with a path toward engineering leadership, particularly interested in infrastructure, developer platforms, and applied ML systems in domains like healthcare, logistics, finance, or defense. Outside of work, he enjoys navigating Puget Sound on his sailboat, wrenching on his motorcycle, and getting curious about obscure systems and trivia.
