Joel Roos

Profile

We live in a harsh world where we sometimes forget to take care of each other. As a leader I want to be a part of a change to that, creating a workplace where everyone feels safe and can grow to their full potential. Utilizing technology to help the individual and harnessing tech to improve the workplace.

My background as a developer and architect serves as the basis for my drive to lead with a focus on modern technologies, languages, and frameworks. Always striving to create a better solution in less time and with fewer resources. Something that is possible when you fully embrace the modern ways of working with serverless and cloud-native applications and a get shit done attitude.
