Top SchoolJoshua Wedekind is a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, developer-focused tooling and production web services across companies from startups to Apple and Microsoft. He specializes in monorepo and build toolchains, CI automation, and full-stack product delivery—work exemplified by contributions to Microsoft's high-profile rushstack repository where he improved Sass tasking, testing, and class-name hashing.

An educator and entrepreneur at heart, he has taught web development, founded product ventures, and led engineering on business-critical SaaS features. His background as an FAA air traffic controller and Army radiology technologist reveals a knack for high-stakes systems and disciplined problem-solving that informs his approach to reliable, production-grade software.
