Summary
Josh Keller is a Senior Software Engineer with six years of professional experience building full-stack and cloud-native systems, currently at Intuitive Surgical. He co-created Hypha, an open-source observability framework that correlates logs and traces for distributed systems, and designed its end-to-end telemetry pipeline using OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, Loki, Elasticsearch, and Grafana. Comfortable across JavaScript, Go, and Ruby, Josh combines hands-on engineering—containerization, ECS/Fargate deployments, and scaling architectures—with a pragmatic focus on choosing the right tool for the job. His background in music therapy gives him a collaborative, empathetic approach to cross-functional teamwork and remote pair programming. Based in Kalamazoo, he brings a blend of product-minded engineering and operational experience that accelerates debugging and observability for complex distributed services.
