Background

About Josh Kynaston

I am a Software Developer with over 6 years of experience in high-performance computing in the capacity of a research Mathematician in stochastic/continuum models for large-scale (bio)chemical reaction networks. As a Software Developer on Xpedite’s Intelligence Delivery Team, I specialise in architecting scalable, maintainable solutions that deliver real business value. I’ve led the formulation and adoption of a layered, testable architectural model across our software portfolio, reducing technical debt and aligning our practices with modern engineering standards. My work spans flagship products like TLAM and the broader Optimax suite, where I’ve consistently delivered high-quality, on-time solutions that improve performance, maintainability, and long-term support. I’m passionate about documentation culture, DevOps strategy, and security hardening. I’ve initiated internal documentation platforms, authored reusable libraries for standardising e.g. authentication and logging, and contributed to our Azure DevOps organisational design. I take pride in translating complex business needs into robust technical solutions, most notably through my work on a bespoke mathematical algorithm for TLAM’s scheduling functionality. Whether through mentorship, R&D, or hands-on development, I aim to elevate both the quality of our software and the effectiveness of our team.
