Hey, I'm Joseph

Who I am
I am currently pursuing a PhD at Northeastern University, advised by Prof. Haris Koutsopoulos.
I have experience with implementation projects, solving technical challenges and managing teams of practitioners and developers.
When I'm not thinking about transit, I am reading nonfiction, playing the guitar, or practicing salsa!
