Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosh Bode is a senior technical lead and quantitative software engineer with 11 years of experience architecting data-driven platforms and models across finance and healthcare. With a PhD in Mathematics and a career that spans senior quant roles at major banks to chief architect and platform leadership at fintechs, he blends rigorous modeling (PD/LGD/EAD) with hands-on engineering in Python, Julia, R and TypeScript. He currently leads engineering at Checkmate after steering architecture and data science at Kelvin, consistently turning complex regulatory and risk requirements into automated, production-grade systems. An active open-source contributor, he improved the popular datamodel-code-generator to make schema-to-Pydantic conversions more robust and modular—evidence of his focus on developer ergonomics and reliable data contracts. Based in Melbourne, he brings a rare mix of deep quantitative expertise and pragmatic platform-building skills, often surfacing subtle edge-case fixes that prevent downstream failures.
