About
Joshua Musa
Hello, I am Joshua.
Senior full-stack software engineer with 8+ years building scalable products across fintech, insurtech, and SaaS. Currently based in Paris, France, where I'm pursuing an MSc in Software Engineering at EPITA while continuing to work as a Senior Software Engineer at Engine.
I love simplicity but enjoy complex concepts. I'm passionate about owning end-to-end delivery, driving technical direction, and growing into software architecture.
