Joseph Bautista

Senior Software & Cloud Engineer  ·  7+ years

I architect scalable backends, automate infrastructure on AWS, and obsess over system design. When I'm not shipping code, I'm on the court, the trail, or on the road — always moving.

Beyond The Code

Building software is what I do, but curiosity and continuous growth drive everything around it. Here’s a look at what keeps me learning, creating, and moving outside of development.

🏀

Basketball

The court teaches you everything about teamwork and reading the play. Both translate directly to engineering.

🏋️

Gym

Progressive overload, consistency, form over ego. The same philosophy I bring to writing clean, maintainable code.

🥾

Hiking & Nature

Slow down, look further, take one step at a time. Mountains are patient. Great systems are built the same way.

Family & Travel

Exploring new places with my wife, kids, and crew. Travel rewires how you think — new places, new perspectives, better code. The best adventures are the ones shared.
