▌ JOSIAH TAYLOR

IT Systems Administrator & Developer

"Find the friction. Build the fix."

▌ ABOUT

I'm Josiah Taylor — an IT Systems Administrator and Developer who lives at the intersection of infrastructure and software. Equally at home in a terminal diagnosing a system issue and deep in a codebase solving a hard problem.

My approach is simple: find the friction, build the fix. Whether that's automating away repetitive admin work, standing up reliable infrastructure, writing a low-level C++ engine, or reverse-engineering a bug — I dig until it's solved.
