Profile
I'm an experienced technology leader with over 15 years of expertise in software delivery, test management, and scaling engineering organisations. I've successfully led major digital transformations and built high-performing teams across various industries, from startups to enterprise-level organisations.
I founded and scaled Canvas Reply from 30 to 150+ consultants, generating over £14M in annual revenue while leading major deliveries for clients like easyJet Holidays and Domino's UK. Most recently, I served as CTO at Ki Reply, where I focused on optimising engineering and delivery performance through modern practices including generative AI integration.
My expertise spans the full spectrum of technology leadership — from hands-on test architecture and QA strategy to executive-level delivery management and organisational scaling. I'm passionate about creating observable, tunable working environments that help teams identify and overcome blockers to achieve their technical and business objectives.

Josh was one of the best managers I’ve worked with. He struck a rare balance between being highly technical and genuinely personable, making the team both effective and enjoyable to be part of. I always felt trusted to lead, while knowing he would support me whenever it was needed. His calmness under pressure, fairness, and clarity made a real difference to delivery and morale. I would gladly work with him again, and if I could hire him directly, I would not hesitate.
I worked with Josh at Lloyds Pharmacy on the development of an internal tool. It was a tough project, but having Josh on the team made everything so much easier. He was a great teacher — always willing to share his knowledge and experience — and he created an environment where collaboration came naturally. What stood out most to me was his ability to really listen, to work alongside others rather than over them, and to deliver consistently, even under pressure. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and would jump at the chance to do so again.
