Hi! I’m Josh (generally known online as klardotsh1), a software developer2, sailor of boats, music enthusiast, competitive robotics commentator and referee, and dweller and explorer of the Cascadia bioregion. You may know of me from my work on the KMK mechanical keyboard firmware, the in-design Gale programming language, a tongue-in-cheek software license that went fungal3 on Mastodon, or for the robotics nerds in the house, from my commentary work with FIRST Robotics in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
My contact information is linked from the navbar and here.
I’m open to small contract work in the realms of “DevOps” and infrastructure, backend web development, developer experience and tooling, and general systems engineering. See my resume or my contact information if you’re interested!
After you’re done here…
I have assembled a page of recommended reading and watching you can continue on to once you’ve exhausted the content here!

The username was originallly formed by sounding out this domain name in English, but the canonical pronounciation is “klar-dotshhhh”. Exactly like you’re shushing someone right after saying “dot”. ↩

By dayjob title, I’m a Senior Systems Engineer, which means I wrangle cloud infrastructure, Linux systems and tooling, and internal developer experience tooling, as a rough summary. ↩
