Full Stack Software Developer

Hey I'm Josh

Josh's headshot

I'm a full stack engineer with six years of experience and a focus on front-end development and UI design. I love building high-impact apps that are easy to use, beautiful to navigate, and solve real problems for users.

I got into web development as a hobby - building websites for fun and driven by my entreprenuerial spirit - and that curiosity eventually turned into a career. I come from humble beginnings, self-taught, hands-on, and always learning by doing. That roll-up-your-sleeves mindset still drives the way I work (and learn) today.

Whenever I build, I love thinking about the bigger picture: What problem are we solving? How are people interacting with this? What makes them come back? How can we make it better? My background in business, startups, and working closely with customers helps me bridge the gap between the technology I create and the people using it.

I'm a quick learner, love solving real-world problems, and I really care about building things that are both thoughtful and genuinely useful. Whether it's shipping an MVP, launching a new feature, or scaling a platform, I'm most in my element when I'm turning ideas into tools people want to use and make their world a better place.

About Me

Growth Mindset

There’s always more to learn.

Life is about always learning, and I’m constantly pursuing growth - as a developer and as a person. I stay curious, welcome new perspectives, and embrace change in the pursuit of better. I always say: if you're frustrated, it probably means you're learning.

No Ego

It’s about the work, not the credit.

Great software comes from great teams, not one person. Leaving ego at the door opens up room for growth. I thrive on collaboration and believe the best ideas come from working together. Success is a team effort - and it’s even better when your teammates become friends.

User First

Build for people, not just systems.

At the heart of every application are real users. I love thinking through how people will actually interact with the UIs I create. I focus on building intuitive, accessible, and engaging experiences that make using technology feel effortless.

Adapt

Life changes at the speed of tech.

I embrace change and pivot quickly when challenges or new opportunities come up. Staying adaptable helps me be creative, stay focused, and deliver work that matters and ultimately drives business.
