Software engineer and systems builder

I turn complicated systems into products people can trust.

I am Joshua Pugh, a software engineer with a technician's instinct for finding what is actually broken. I bring years of hands-on diagnostic experience to reliable data pipelines, backend architecture, and full-stack products built to hold up beyond the first release.

About

Engineering judgment built in the real world.

Before software, I diagnosed and repaired diesel systems where incomplete evidence, messy inputs, and small mistakes had real consequences. That experience still shapes how I engineer: understand the system, find the actual failure, and build a fix that holds up.

Today I work across Python, JavaScript, APIs, databases, and frontend products. I care about the full path from raw input to user experience, especially the contracts and validation that make a product dependable after it leaves the developer's machine.

CFP Advantage

A college football intelligence platform that turns play-by-play data into opponent-adjusted team strength, matchup projections, and explainable Contextual Football Profiles.

  • Designed a certified data pipeline that normalizes inconsistent source data before scoring.
  • Built an OOP architecture spanning domain rules, services, repositories, builders, and validation gates.
  • Created public weekly projection receipts so live 2026 results can be audited after kickoff.
  • Developed a responsive product experience across team, matchup, season, and playoff views.
