Driving forward daily
Josh Kirby
Technology, business, boating and the great outdoors are what most interests me.


Hi, I’m Josh Kirby, entrepreneur, boater, engineer, passionate about technology, finance, data (technology/finance especially), marine everything. I believe in working hard to create opportunities for yourself, your family, friends and everyone around you. Solving problems for as many people as possible is my goal.
I have a background in DevOps/Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and business, with over 6 years of experience in managing cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, as well as teams of engineers, marketers, sales representatives, and others . Throughout my career, I’ve launched 6 businesses varying from SaaS companies in as little as 10 weeks, content marketing networks with over 15 websites and 10 writers as well as shaped technology teams and infrastructure for many startups as part of my consulting business.
Lately I have been spending a lot of time doing testing, planning and work around the house. I am woring to refine the starter kits I began building in 2024. They are a slow going project due to the crazy amount of configurations needed to say it is a non-opinionated starter kit.
Coming out of the starter kits there is a software idea I’ve had for about 2 years now I am building out to help marine service businesses spend less time on admin work and more time with customers. My first focus is mobile businesses with some features to allow shop based as well. The project is called Vessel Task.
My work is driven by integrity, desire to learn, helping others, and providing the most value I can to the world. I believe in the moto “always be learning” and doing right by customers, and strive to educate others at every change I get, and always focus on improving the customer experience.
Let’s connect and work together or discuss opportunities for collaboration. You can find me on LinkedIn, Twitter, or reach out via email at using my contact page.

Business
Business has been an interest and passion of mine for over a decade. I have ran multiple technology startups and assisted others with their operations from both a technical and business process perspective.

Technology
Technology and computers as an interest dates back to breaking the family Windows computer as a child. Through my teens, I started developing programming and server administration skills. Now I’m an SRE focused on cloud infrastructure.

Boating
Boating has long been my primary hobby and interest. I got my license at 12 years-old and my first boat later that year in a 2-for-1 deal. Nowadays I own a Blackfin 212CC to fish the St. Lawerence River and Lake Ontario.

Outdoors
Being outside in nature relating away from the stresses of daily life, technology and business is an amazing feeling. One I find myself seeking out more and more often as the world grows more dependant on technology.
