Joshua Durey (Josh Durey) - Applied AI Enablement & Agentic Workflows
I'm Joshua Durey, and most colleagues call me Josh.
I build agentic workflows for teams that have to trust the output, and then I wire the quality gates that prove the work holds up. Those two jobs rarely sit in one person. Most AI pilots stall right in that gap.
How teaching and linguistics turned into agentic workflows
Earlier in my career, I spent fifteen years in international schools across Asia and the US. Along the way, I earned an MA in Applied Linguistics at the University of Birmingham. Search my name from years ago and you'll still see old school talks and teaching courses.
That background turned out to be the right training when teams started handing real work to language models, because applied linguistics treats prompts, rubrics, and model replies as testable specs rather than guesswork.
Before going out on my own under Human Creative, I governed 52,167 multi-agent .jsonl runs on contract for an AI-education company. That meant building 30+ Python hook gates, multi-vendor judge panels, and quiz compilers. Watching where a sure-sounding model and a real user's reality came apart taught me how to catch silent bugs early.
Today I work across ops, support, compliance, and training teams. Teaching was the proving ground, and reliable multi-agent systems are the craft.
What I build and lead
- Workflow audits. I map how work moves across desks and score tasks by payoff and error cost. Read the workflow audit playbook or inspect the audit harness.
- Self-reviewing agentic pipelines. I break mega-prompts into narrow steps with Python hooks, 6-rung cost routing, and cross-vendor critics. Read the agentic workflow guide or try the live demo.
- LLM quality gates & SOP-to-SCORM compilers. I ship runnable test suites (
judge-trust,telemetry-gates,verdict-integrity) and SOP-to-SCORM 1.2 compilers at 0.0% false pass.
Working together
I'm a US Citizen based in Seoul, working 100% remotely in English with US and APAC teams. Teams hire me for full-time roles (W-2 EOR via Deel or Remote, or US LLC contract), fractional leadership, or two-week workflow sprints.
