Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJosh Crowther is a Staff Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building high-performance, production-grade systems spanning web UIs, cloud infrastructure, networking, and machine learning. He has led architecture and migrations at companies from startups to hyperscale firms—optimizing SDKs at Firebase (contributing to the widely used firebase-js-sdk), designing microfrontends and edge caching at trading and trading-adjacent firms, and provisioning resilient, multi-region Kubernetes and DB clusters for HFT and logistics. Comfortable across Node.js, Golang, Terraform, and Azure/AWS ecosystems, he combines hands-on coding with infrastructure design to deliver fault-tolerant, low-latency services. At Google and Walmart he improved SDK load times and built DNS/load-balancer tooling; more recently he’s focused on AI governance at Meta. A quick learner who thrives on tackling async race conditions and large-scale migrations, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a knack for reducing operational complexity. Based in Georgetown, Texas, he holds an MS in Computer Science from Georgia Tech.
