Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJosh Wheeler is a systems engineer based in Austin with a strong track record building high-performance distributed data systems and integrations for security products. He led design and delivery of a streamer that pushes Vectra network metadata to on-prem Kafka/Elasticsearch/Splunk, and previously architected search and indexing pipelines, query parsers with Antlr, and a memory-mapped pub-sub framework that boosted throughput and scalability. Comfortable across Python, Go, C++, Postgres/MariaDB, Elasticsearch and Kafka, he improves latency and reliability by combining query-plan tuning, load simulation, and kernel/db configuration. A Johns Hopkins MS graduate who drove research-speedups of 2–70x in distributed dataflow experiments, he pairs rigorous academic performance with practical product delivery. Notably, he’s moved concepts from PoC to MVP as a lead engineer and has substituted as lead lecturer and head TA for large grad courses, showing both technical depth and teaching ability.
