🤩
RockstarJosh Slocum is a Principal Software Engineer at Snowflake in Austin who specializes in building scalable, high-performance distributed data storage and database systems. An expert Java developer (also proficient in C++, C, JavaScript, and Python), he worked on Snowflake’s Unistore and Hybrid Tables and previously led Osiris — Indeed’s Hadoop-based petabyte-scale key-value store — from prototype to the company’s largest production database. He’s an open-source contributor to FoundationDB and Apache Curator, reflecting a focus on consistency and coordination in distributed systems. Early internships on Google Maps and Facebook’s HDFS give him both full-stack and deep storage-system provenance, and he holds a BS in Computer Science with honors from UT Austin.
