Hi, my name is

Joshua Faria.

I build better business systems.

I enjoy understanding how businesses actually work. By mapping processes, connecting systems, and removing unnecessary friction, I build solutions that make everyday work simpler, faster, and more reliable.

01.About

I've always been interested in understanding how businesses actually work. Behind every product, service, or customer interaction is a network of people, processes, and systems working together.

I enjoy studying those systems and understanding how information flows, where inefficiencies appear, and why certain processes become more complicated over time. Once I understand the bigger picture, I look for practical ways to simplify it.

Whether that means improving a workflow, connecting systems, or redesigning a process, my goal is always the same: build solutions that are reliable, scalable, and make everyday work easier.

02.Experience

Cross Functional Technician → Automation / Integration Systems Ownership

@ Logistics Alliance

2024 — Present

  • Owned and stabilized production automation workflows supporting shipment creation, dispatch routing, PO validation, and operational data movement across logistics systems.
  • Built and maintained n8n workflows connecting Gmail, Monday.com, internal platforms, AWS-related reports, Google Sheets, and internal APIs.
  • Troubleshot API and workflow failures using Postman, Swagger, JSON payload inspection, and production logs to restore operational continuity.
  • Coordinated with internal operations, customer service, IT leadership, and external vendors to validate workflow changes and reduce production risk.
  • Documented workflows, failure paths, and operator playbooks so automation could be understood, supported, and improved over time.

Enterprise data validation system — analytics and validation dashboard preview

Production Validation Framework

Enterprise Data Validation System

Designed a production-grade validation framework that reconciled operational data against a trusted system of record, catching discrepancies before downstream impact. Replaced manual verification with automation that improved data quality, visibility, and risk control.

Business Impact

  • 95% cache hit rate reducing redundant AWS API lookups
  • 0.0% processing error rate across production runs
  • Validation confidence improved from 87.0% to 99.7%
  • 56,910 enterprise records validated across 40 operational runs

Got a messy workflow that needs fixing?

I'm looking for roles where I can own the space between operations and systems — the part where processes break, data gets messy, handoffs fail, and automation can actually make the business run better.

If you need someone who can investigate the problem, map the workflow, build the automation, test the edge cases, and keep improving it after it goes live, let's talk.
