Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoshua Wehner is a seasoned software engineering team lead with 17 years of experience building and guiding remote teams across Ruby on Rails, Go, and modern front-end stacks. He combines hands-on full-stack development—evidenced by substantial contributions to the popular Forem community platform—with people leadership, mentoring, training, and technical writing. Joshua has led engineering teams at startups and scale-ups including GitHub, Travis CI, Fastly, and currently Nedap Healthcare, blending product-focused engineering with operational rigor.
