I'm Josh Wheeler, an Australian software engineer currently based in London.
I specialise in building full stack web applications. In particular, I'm passionate about designing and building decoupled systems using modern AWS serverless technology patterns. On the side, I'm also learning rust 🦀.
Outside of web development, I enjoy music 🎵, guitar 🎸, travelling ✈️, basketball 🏀 and snowboarding 🏂.
