About

I'm Joshua, based on the Sunshine Coast, with a career built across hospitality, public transport and technology leadership. I care about doing things properly — whether that's running a busy service floor, keeping a bus route on schedule, or standing up reliable infrastructure. Outside of work, I'm an avid aviation enthusiast and an entry-level developer who enjoys building side projects in my spare time.
