Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJosh Peak is a senior Data & ML engineering consultant with 12 years of experience building cloud-native data platforms, ML engineering pipelines, and distributed systems across healthcare, mining, and enterprise consulting. He combines hands-on implementation—AWS, Snowflake, dbt, Spark, Kubernetes—with a consulting lens that turns messy, domain-specific data into auditable analytics and production-ready ML platforms. Josh has led platform and ML POCs for medical imaging, driven data platform deliveries at V2 AI and nib, and previously scaled recommendation systems and ETL pipelines at CloudSense and Invoice2go. A pragmatic tester and automation contributor, he has improved CI/test coverage for widely used projects such as vcrpy, showing attention to cross-platform test reliability. Based in Melbourne, he pairs technical leadership with mentorship and practical engineering habits—from containerised deployments to SQL-based regression QA. Outside work he applies the same engineering curiosity at home, having self-taught metalworking to build his own squat rack and automated his fitness tracking into a data-driven Google Sheet that ingests Zwift rides.
