Joshua B is a Senior Integration Engineer based in Gothenburg, Sweden with six years of hands-on experience building and operating privacy-first VPN infrastructure at Mullvad. He specializes in WireGuard server integration, Ansible-driven deployments, and bespoke Linux kernel/OS tuning for RAM-based bare-metal servers, while also maintaining HashiCorp Vault and CI pipelines to ensure safe, auditable rollouts. Formerly Head of Infrastructure, he pairs people-focused leadership with deep technical involvement—writing infrastructure code, running incident response, and shaping strategic plans. His open-source contributions include improving DNS blocklist build and deployment tooling, adding GPG signing and test automation to harden distribution. Comfortable across Python, Bash, Docker and CI systems, he blends operational rigor with clear technical communication, occasionally publishing blogs and polishing copy to make complex topics accessible.
