About me

I’m Joe Hosman, a hands-on technology leader and architect with thirty years of industry experience. I turn customer needs and business workflows into software, automation, and distributed systems.

My career has included creating and commercializing Ticket Attendant, owning the technology operation of a SaaS business serving about 500 customers, leading a development team as it grew from 7 to 14, and designing enterprise document automation. I work across architecture and implementation, with a deep C#/.NET background and experience in Azure, GCP, and AWS.

Beyond the day job

My interests span process automation, machine learning, woodworking, mechanical engineering, and art. My projects include a multi-camera bird-call monitoring pipeline using BirdNET, a Git-backed multiplayer narrative game, and a published Godot RPG where equipment behavior comes from supervised neural-network training.

I also experiment with a Docker/Kubernetes home lab and Raspberry Pi sensors, mentor a team of Godot developers, and volunteer in high-school technology mentorship and competition judging.

Background

I hold a BS in Electrical Engineering from DeVry University. My continuing study has included remote coursework in AI, machine learning, computer vision, and fuzzy logic through MIT and Stanford programs.
