Josh Teperman is a pragmatic full-stack software engineer with 8 years of experience delivering Rails- and Elixir-backed products for high-volume user bases and pre-product-market-fit startups. Comfortable leading small distributed teams, he combines a people-first approach from a prior international recruitment career with hands-on delivery—shipping subscription, billing and scheduling systems used by hundreds of thousands of customers. He favors simple, maintainable code and knows when a pragmatic hack is the right trade-off, having owned data migrations, GraphQL integrations and critical bug fixes across web and mobile stacks. Bilingual experience in English and Japanese and a background in consultancy give him uncommon empathy for cross-cultural collaboration and stakeholder negotiation. Based in Melbourne, he keeps learning new paradigms while returning often to Rails, and his career path includes bootstrapping greenfield products to revenue as well as scaling established platforms.
