Josh Hackney

AI Infrastructure & Distributed Systems Engineer | Kubernetes & LLMOps | Go | Orchestrating Production AI

Lakewood, Washington (greater Seattle area)

I design and orchestrate intelligent systems that move ideas from concept to production with uncommon speed and reliability. My work sits at the intersection of modern AI/LLM capability and timeless distributed-systems engineering: Kubernetes-native architectures, resilient service meshes, secure CI/CD, and automation that reduces human toil rather than amplifying it.

What differentiates my work is synthesis. I connect disciplines that are usually siloed—AI, DevOps, product, and operations—so systems behave coherently under real-world pressure. I’m drawn to problems where intelligence, autonomy, and reliability converge. If you’re working on something ambitious at that edge—let’s talk.
