Allow me to introduce myself…

I love my job. I get to create something that connects people. Every night, I go to sleep (yes, even the weekends) wondering…how can I make something better than I did the day before. And what gets me excited is knowing that I have the chance to improve everything I’ve already built, design things that I haven’t done or thought of, and having the opportunity to learn. I love absorbing information, and everyday that I learn something, is a great day.

Optimism. I apply daily into my code. Nothing is impossible and everything is human-centric; this is my philosophy about building something great. As a client-side engineer for over a decade, I was told that “it can’t be done” or “we don’t support that.” But we can, and it’s all about making the right decisions when opportunities arise. That is what motivated me to learn more about server and database architecture. Design isn’t just about making something look good. Design is about architecting something usable, extendable, and easy for the next person stepping into my shoes to learn and continue building.

My name is Josh, let’s connect and build something meaningful.
