Scouting report
Authored a 199★ Java Kademlia DHT implementation
assessed from open-source footprint
Principal
70signal
Joshua's calling card is Kademlia (199★), a from-scratch Java implementation of the Kademlia routing protocol and DHT, backed by DOSNA (22★), a distributed social-network architecture — serious systems-level backend work. A 14-year account with 245 total stars and a software-architect background. The clear caveat is recency: 100% abandonment and zero commits in the last year, so the evidence is strong but historical.
