Joshua Blatt is a Chief Executive Officer at Everscale. He possess expertise in distributed systems, git, linux, rest, maven and 19 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Josh was hands-down the best manager I've ever had. He had the ability to successfully navigate the intricacies of a large tech organization to rapidly spread the adoption of the Java Platform, which maximized the impact of the work that his team was doing. The platform was well-publicized, well-supported, and well-documented. He even lead the production of a series of professionally-created videos to train developers in various key infrastructure technologies. He was strong at building relationships outside of his team, which is ultimately one of the most important skills to contribute to a team's success in a company like Yahoo. He had a very hands-off management style, where he stayed out of the way of his team until called upon. When we did need him to help clear an obstacle from our path, whether it was technical or political, he was able to quickly and effectively do so.", "I have had the pleasure of working with Josh on many cross-product initiatives including engineering standards, Continuous Integration program, platform tools road-map & best practices, as well as Open source program. Josh proactively volunteered to lead, author, and & drive several standards specifications, inter-tools work flows, and best practices which are fundamental to the Continuous Integration program. His strengths are passion for driving technical excellence, exceptional technical writing ability, and teamwork. I have enjoyed working with Josh during 2009-2010 on the various initiatives, and without his voluntary contribution it would have been very difficult to get initial traction & make forward progress.", and "Joshua and I worked on a key piece of infrastructure at Yahoo, at a time when the team I was on really needed quite a bit in a short amount of time. Together we decided what we needed to do and what could wait, and our collaboration produced a very strong platform upon which to rebuild a large and powerful Yahoo product. Joshua is very skilled at analyzing existing code, deciding what will go wrong if it's brought into a new context, and deciding how to fix, alleviate, or work around any problems that might come up. He's also very skilled at prioritizing and juggling multiple tasks, which are important for any infrastructure engineer. He was always good natured and responsive to new feature needs, no matter how complex, and very straightforward about what can happen and how long it will take. I genuinely enjoyed collaborating with Joshua, and would love to work with him again."
