Hi, I am Joseph

Joseph Kavanagh

Software Engineer at Daintta

I am a Computer Science graduate with experience in, and a desire for, automation. A Red Hat Certified Specialist in Ansible Automation who loves the problem-solving aspects of coding and is always thinking of ways to better the solution. Enjoys working collaboratively - each person may interpret a problem differently and so approach it in a different way, aiding in the quality of the solution produced.
