Hi, I'm Joshua!

I'm a technologist looking to make a difference.

Through my consultancy Magic Clay LLC, I work across government and biotech. I'm the tech lead on CompactConnect, an open-source system for sharing professional licenses across states; a backend engineer at Tatta Bio, building tools for genomic sequence search; and a government technologist with Verdance. I also serve as Head of Technology and Data on the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations.

Previously, I was a TechCongress Fellow on the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. After graduating from Stanford in 2020 with a B.S. in computer science and M.S. in statistics, I worked as a data director on political campaigns.

I serve on the board of Camp Kaleidoscope, a Stanford-based nonprofit providing free camp experiences for children affected by a parent's cancer. In my free time, I play jazz piano, bake sourdough, and improvise. To me, improvisation is more than a fun hobby -- it's a way of life. My favorite improv maxims are "Say Yes," "Follow the Fear," and "Mistakes are Gifts."
