About
Sheppard LLC is the consulting practice of Joshua Sheppard.
I’ve spent twenty years in software engineering, most recently leading machine-learning teams as a Group Manager at C.H. Robinson, where I built and shipped production ML systems at scale. Before that, my work ran from infrastructure and platform engineering to engineering leadership across growing teams. I speak on Kubernetes and write regularly about engineering, AI, and the craft of building teams.
The thread through all of it: helping technical organizations make good decisions at the moments that matter — scaling a team, shipping AI into production, or stepping into leadership for the first time. That combination of hands-on technical depth and engineering-leadership experience is the foundation of every engagement. See Services for the full list, or read what I’ve been writing.
