Joshua Horwitz is a software engineering manager and former staff engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, secure platforms across healthcare and finance. Based in Ann Arbor, he leads an engineering pod at Artisight focused on distributed backends, real-time event pipelines, and edge-cloud integrations that power intelligent hospital operations. He combines hands-on expertise in systems architecture (Python/Django, React, Keycloak, SMART on FHIR) with pragmatic team development—creating predictable CI/CD, observable infrastructure, and frameworks that speed safe innovation. Joshua’s career moves from deep individual contributor roles into leadership reflect a pattern of shipping reliable, human-centered systems while mentoring engineers and aligning technical decisions with business goals. A polyglot tinkerer ((JavaScript, ClojureScript) && (Node, Pony, Clojure)), he prefers clarity and practicality over complexity and is energized by turning messy domain problems into maintainable engineering platforms.
