Summary
Josh Burgess is a Senior Software Engineer based in Tampa, Florida with 11 years of full‑stack and systems experience building data-driven platforms and cyber training tools. He blends pragmatic engineering with functional programming expertise, shipping production services in Haskell and Rust while also developing typed frontends in Elm and TypeScript. At Pinata and SimSpace he led SSO and new HTTP API initiatives, influenced product direction, and migrated legacy stacks to modern, domain‑driven architectures. He’s equally comfortable designing Postgres schemas, authoring RFCs for core auth systems, and mentoring teams on FP patterns and frontend architecture. Notably, he pairs hands‑on coding (from Tokio/Axum to Servant-generated types) with a strong emphasis on reliable, testable systems and gradual modernization of complex codebases.
