Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJosh Burgess is a founder, CEO, and software engineer with four years of hands-on experience building cloud-native, distributed systems from Erie, PA. He has led Kubernetes and GitOps initiatives that cut release cycles by 30%, architected his company's first AWS Organization and unified Data Lake, and pushed serverless Golang/Lambda designs that lowered infrastructure costs by up to 20% while reducing latency.

A Penn State MSE student in Software Engineering with studies at Harvard Extension and a BS in Business from Pitt, Josh pairs technical depth with product and business savvy—shaped in part by earlier marketing, audio, and even CrossFit coaching roles that inform his practical, team-oriented leadership. He currently leads Mudget through the 2025 eCenter accelerator, delivering secure Plaid integrations and fast-moving fintech prototypes.
