Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoshua Wood is a Principal Developer Advocate at Red Hat with 11 years in developer-facing roles focused on Kubernetes and OpenShift, translating developer needs into platform improvements and practical guidance. He blends a journalism background with deep technical fluency—previously leading DocOps at CoreOS and shaping product and engineering strategy as a CTO and co-founder—so he communicates complex cloud-native concepts clearly to diverse audiences. Based in Kansas City, he combines hands-on product experience (from architecting scheduling systems to early-stage startups) with advocacy that influences both docs and developer experience. A witty communicator—self-described as “Like John the Baptist impersonating Graham Hill”—he brings personality to technical education while driving adoption of enterprise open-source.
