Overview

Josh, is a former legal professional turned technologist. His mantra is to help people do more, know more, and share more, safely.

With a diverse skillset, his technology career began with transformation projects involving data security & compliance on Microsoft technologies, and this remains the same to date. His journey with AI started with management consultancy work around Azure Cognitive Services along with how these work with embedded systems/IoT, before becoming increasingly hands-on developing early applications with LLM's in 2021 as an alpha-tester with OpenAI's research program.

Outside of his work with Avanade, Accenture and their clients, he's one part of the duo at Securing the Realm, a speaking and podcasting series focused on AI Transformation, the Software Development Lifecycle, and Security; told through the lens of Tabletop Roleplaying Games.
