Joshua Hough
Senior Cloud Engineer
Fidelity Investments
I am a senior software engineer with 9+ years of industry experience. My journey has taken me from powering SMS campaigns in telecom, to enabling predictive AI in healthcare, and most recently, to modernizing the control plane for Fidelity’s API Gateway in financial services. Having worked at startups, mid-sized companies, and large enterprises, I bring a unique perspective on how engineering evolves through each stage of company growth. I’m passionate about DevOps, CI/CD, and developer tooling—especially how they contribute to platform stability and engineering velocity. I’m looking forward to sharing insights from Fidelity’s migration journey from a commercial API Gateway to an Envoy powered API Gateway with a custom control plane.
