Joseph Fahey is a Tech Lead and seasoned Clojure/ClojureScript developer with 14 years in industry and over a decade of Clojure experience, currently shaping engineering at CodeScene from Brittany, France. He brings a rare humanities-to-software trajectory, holding a doctorate in French literature from Université Sorbonne Nouvelle and earlier academic posts, which informs his clear, example-driven documentation and architected solutions. Joseph has long practiced full‑stack web development, contributing to open-source projects like hybridauth where he worked across front- and back-end integration and maintenance. As a hands‑on leader, he combines deep Lisp-family fluency with practical product instincts, mentoring teams while still shipping code. Notably, his background producing a scholarly web resource (the Dictionnaire International des Termes Littéraires) hints at strength in structuring complex information for both machines and people.
