Top SchoolJoshua Leath is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building full-stack and cloud-native systems using JavaScript, Ruby, and Go. Based in Newark, Ohio, he has progressed through multiple engineering roles at Fanatics where he now focuses on scalable deployment and reliability. As co-creator of Chimera, he designed an open-source canary deployment tool that automates multi-service AWS workflows, integrates CloudWatch and Prometheus monitoring, and performs metric-driven rollbacks. He pairs hands-on implementation—Express backends, React/Redux frontends, and asynchronous JS—to pragmatic infrastructure design and clear technical documentation. Joshua’s background in data analysis and operations (Charter Communications) informs his emphasis on observability and metrics-driven decisions, and he enjoys translating complex deployment patterns into accessible tooling for engineering teams.
