Summary
Joshua Ferrerra is a Senior Software Engineer based in Seattle with 10 years of experience building full-stack systems across startups and large enterprises. He has a strong typed-stack fluency—C++, Python, TypeScript/JavaScript and Haskell—and a proven record designing production services using React, Redux, Node.js, Java/Spring, AWS Lambda, API Gateway, SQS and DynamoDB. His background spans low-level avionics diagnostics in the military to high-throughput web platforms at Amazon and fintech at Symetra, giving him a rare combination of rigor in systems engineering and pragmatic product delivery. A mathematician by training (M.S. in Mathematics) and a veteran of the US Marine Corps and US Air Force Reserve, he brings disciplined problem solving and operational experience to complex reliability and monitoring challenges. Colleagues describe him as an engineer who moves comfortably between embedded/C++ concerns and cloud-native, event-driven architectures, often surfacing subtle edge cases before they reach production.
