Joshua Deffibaugh is a senior software engineer with 11 years of experience building high-performance backend and distributed systems for cloud, storage, and real-time data platforms. He has driven low-latency, large-scale solutions at AWS and CrowdStrike—designing custom protocols, eBPF-based observability, and ETL pipelines that materially improved latency, capacity forecasting, and incident response. Joshua moves fluidly between infrastructure as code, kernel-level instrumentation, and data engineering, with a track record of shaving seconds (and tail latency) off critical services and migrating large analytics workloads to BigQuery. He founded a startup acquired after TechStars, showing both product instincts and the ability to operationalize global delivery systems. Based in San Diego, he now focuses on AI storage at CoreWeave, combining systems-level rigor with a knack for pragmatic automation and mentorship.
