Joseph Friedrich is a Solutions Engineer in Austin with 14 years of experience blending customer-facing support, hands-on engineering, and technical consulting across logistics and developer-focused products. He has progressed through roles at Shippo from Support Engineer to Solutions Engineer, demonstrating deep operational knowledge of shipping integrations and platform troubleshooting. As a back-end contributor to FeatureBase, he has practical experience untangling complex codebases and improving dependency management in high-performance analytical database projects. Earlier leadership as CTO at a supply-chain startup shows he can translate product needs into technical systems that optimize inventory and business workflows. He also prototypes hardware-and-ML solutions—like a Raspberry Pi–based boat detector—highlighting a curious, full-stack approach that spans embedded systems, machine learning, and server-side engineering. Based in Austin and fluent in bridging technical and customer contexts, he thrives on turning messy edge cases into reliable, production-ready solutions.
