Josh - Dyalog Team Member

Role Summary

Josh primarily works as a consultant to North American clients. He works directly with clients, helping them maintain existing, and create new, applications in APL. He also collaborates internally with the Dyalog Tools Group and works to develop open-source tools for the APL community.

Biography

Josh was introduced to APL during an internship with The Carlisle Group . He continued learning APL and became a grand prize winner in the general computing category of the 2016 APL Problem Solving Competition. Whilst studying for a degree in Computer Science, Josh undertook an internship with a large company as a regular (non-APL) software developer; working as a programmer using mainstream languages made Josh realise how much more fun he had working with APL. This realisation meant that, instead of accepting a traditional Computer Science programmer role when he graduated in 2019, he sought a job as a consultant with Dyalog Ltd. He now enjoys the real-world problems he gets to solve, using APL the whole way.
