03 / About

A builder, through and through.

Josh Bellamy with his family

I’m a software engineer with 18 years of experience, including 12 at ALLETE building business-critical applications inside a regulated utility.

I like figuring out what's actually broken and building the fix. That might mean creating a clearer website, replacing a costly vendor system, putting AI to work with the right data controls, or building an internal tool around how people work.

I’m based in Duluth, Minnesota. I work with people and businesses everywhere, from individuals and small firms to larger enterprise teams, from the first conversation through delivery.

I bring 18+ years of engineering experience and am available for select outside website, software, and AI projects.
