Summary
Hi, I'm Josh! I'm a staff frontend developer at Codecademy, where I focus on the core learning platform, accessibility, and web infrastructure. I'm also an overly enthusiastic open source and TypeScript aficionado and work on TypeScript static analysis tools on the side.
I'm from upstate New York and now live in Brooklyn. In my spare time, I also appreciate a solid application architecture, crafting a retro game engine in TypeScript, and exploring meta-languages. Ask me about my latest open source projects!
