Top SchoolJoshua Vial is a veteran technology leader and entrepreneur with 17 years of experience building mission-driven organisations, currently serving as CTO at Fundsorter and founder of codewithjv.com. He co-founded Dev Academy Aotearoa, personally trained hundreds of developers, and has a track record of turning early-stage ideas into enduring, distributed organisations—most notably founding and architecting Enspiral’s cooperative legal and governance structures.

He blends practical engineering, governance experience and community-building, and even moonlights as a contractor for experimental AI hives—showing a curious appetite for unconventional, high-impact projects.
