Meet Josh Guyette

With over 20 years in software engineering, Josh Guyette is the solo founder behind Brainwires — an AI-leveraged web engineering company built on the belief that modern technology and intelligent workflows can deliver better results, faster.

Josh is passionate about the modern web stack — Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS — and is an active open source contributor. He brings two decades of hands-on engineering experience to every project, from architecture decisions down to the last line of code.

The Brainwires business model is simple: build it right, host it, and maintain it. Clients get a custom-engineered website, managed hosting, and ongoing monthly support so they can focus on running their business. Learn more at joshguyette.com.
