Joshua Gilbreath
Developer Analyst·C#·SQL·EDI
14+ years of building, leading, and shipping production software — currently a Developer Analyst at RealPage, where he leads an offshore engineering team that designed and now operates a core enterprise application embedded across 100+ RealPage products.
Work spans the full enterprise lifecycle: Business Analyst-level requirement-gathering, .NET / C# architecture, EF Core data-migration ownership, DevOps pipeline work, and a growing footprint in agentic AI — designing LLM-driven pipelines for DataHub data migration with Arc, LangSmith, and modern agent tooling.
Background includes founding an independent game studio (Unity / PSVR / C#), supervising EDI operations across insurance and benefits, and a humanities education that still shows up in the writing, the meetings, and the way colleagues describe him: "patient," "calm under pressure," "a powerhouse who can accomplish anything he's tasked with."

I worked with Josh for 5 years while he managed our offshore team — wearing the hats of BA, Project Manager, Lead Developer, and Scrum Leader. He juggled release management, requirements gathering, software development, and validation — and excelled at every one of them. Can't recommend him enough.
— Sean Talley · worked with Josh for 5 years · Apr 2026Josh is truly a diamond in the rough. In my time working under Josh he has proven himself knowledgeable, skilled, patient, and organized. I can attribute the lion's share of my on-the-job training to Josh's mentoring, and I wouldn't have the skills to do my job without him. He's constantly boosting morale, spearheading fixes and overhauls for our team's biggest projects, and manages to do so without ever losing his cool.
