About Me

Josiah Stadler

My career in technology is driven by a desire to bridge the gap between developers and end-users. My journey began with testing new applications while working in a different industry where I was introduced to SQL and HTML. Fascinated, I pursued a degree in Computer Science with a concentration in Data Science. I am passionate about using data to inform business decisions and using technology to drive innovation.
