About ljoshua

You can read more from me at my site: http://www.joshualyman.com

A technologist, founder, and current Googler, I've repeatedly taken products from inception to commercial success across sectors, from startups to Fortune 10 companies. My specialty lies in bridging the gap between business vision and technical execution, deeply engaging with code and who mentors teams. Beyond engineering, I bring a global perspective from living abroad for nine years and speaking fluent French.
