Google Software & Solutions Guru
I'm Josh. A curious innovator who designs with Firebase and Google Cloud — always focused on building the best stuff to benefit all levels of stakeholder, but always with the end-user folk in mind.
I'm Josh 👋
(Or Yusha)
A solutions architect and consultant obsessed with Firebase, Google Cloud, and using them to solve tricky tech and cultural problems.
With years of experience in the Enterprise and Education Google Partner space, I've seen many challenges and turned them into elegant software, process, technological, and cultural solutions. From consulting C-suite execs at big-name brands, to managing and mentoring teams, to diving into what the end users actually want - Let's create something cool together.
Firebase 🔥
I 💙 architecting scalable apps with Firebase Authentication, Firestore, and Cloud Functions. I've designed secure auth flows, built serverless backends, and integrated AI with Genkit to power real-world solutions.
Google Cloud Platform
I always leverage GCP services to create scalable, secure, and cost-effective solutions. From Cloud Run and its CICD magic to BigQuery and Logging - GCP has the tools needed to get the job done.
Google Workspace
I think I've seen every problem or query you can imagine with Google Workspace. From training a support team in India, to architecting large multi-site tenants, to writing tonnes of code to automate all that you can, to consulting with managerial stakeholders - I've seen it all.
Consulting & Strategy
A trusted advisor to C-suite execs and IT/Security teams at top brands, I take everything from their complex business needs or general curiosity and create actionable tech strategies, deliver in-depth strategy workshops and deliver software and process innovations that drive real impact.
Leadership & Mentorship
I love leading engineering teams to success and mentoring developers to tackle challenges they never thought possible. Making people as enthusiastic about Google solutions as I am gets me out of bed in the morning 💪
Automate all the things!
I hate doing anything manually that has an API! I'll write a Google Apps Script or Firebase function to plug into any SaaS software that allows it to ensure all the boring tasks are automated which frees me up to speak to interesting people and solve their problems!
