Hi, I'm Josh! Waving hand

Glad to see you here! I'm Josh, a Software Engineer with a strong passion for building scalable applications with TypeScript, React and Node.js. Recently won 🏆 Best in Category at JumpStart Hackathon for developing a DEI transparency platform. I'm currently working on Wooster, an AI-powered trip planning app.

Before I got into coding, I spent a decade at fintech startups in sales and product management, where I gained deep experience in understanding user needs and delivering impactful solutions. Now, I bring that same user-centric mindset to software engineering—focusing on creating tools that solve real problems.

Past projects:

A fork of Atomize, a todo app built in React. Converted the codebase to TypeScript, and refactored the entire state management approach, implementing global context and useReducer, removing 13 useEffects, 21 state variables, and fixing a number of significant bugs that were causing unintended behaviour, particularly with asynchronous state.
