About Joshua Modrzynski

A consummate troubleshooter and leader, I solve problems practically and efficiently. With significant experience in data center and cloud infrastructure, production engineering, airplane systems integration, and after-market support for customers, I have a unique perspective that lends itself to discovering economical solutions beyond just commercial aircraft and data centers. My communication skills, both written and oral, are exemplary. The delivery is always tailored with the audience in mind, utilizing others experience to frame statements and analogies in a relatable context. I am a technically sound leader, engineer, and program manager with the business sense to communicate across all levels - from working level teams to executives. I build, enhance, and empower teams by combining strong collaboration and thought leadership to maximize output and deliver results. Whether providing complex technical engineering analysis, cloud infrastructure delivery, leveraging Power BI for analytics, or shaping big-picture messaging, I deliver actionable insight to stakeholders, peers, and customers alike.
