Josh Finnie Headshot

senior software engineer · data nerd

By day, I work on the API and Delivery team at People Data Labs, helping power data products at scale. I have over a decade of full-stack experience with a strong focus on backend engineering. I've led complex projects, mentored teams, and built systems that translate business needs into reliable software.
