Summary
Josh Vallon is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO based in the San Francisco Bay Area with nine years of formal experience and a long track record in AV, DevOps, and engineering enablement. He builds high-performing teams through automation, standardized processes, and thoughtful onboarding—having restructured global programs, launched containerized developer environments, and shrunk recurring tasks from hours to minutes. Josh blends hands-on engineering (C#, Vue.js, PowerShell, GitLab CI/CD, Crestron/AMX integrations) with cross-functional program management, driving repo adoption from 20% to 80% and coordinating large team mergers. He’s comfortable translating complex customer and business requirements into production software and internal tools, and he champions the right tool for the job from IoT tinkering to cloud-native workflows. A lifelong learner with a B.S. in Computer Science from Cal Poly SLO, he pairs curiosity about aerospace and automotive tech with practical delivery experience. Notably, he invests in people systems—mentorship, buddy programs, and early-career initiatives—that measurably boost participation and developer productivity.
