My name is Josh and I enjoy creating things that live on the internet. I became interested in web and software development when I had an idea for a business, but couldn't stand the idea of letting someone else build it. Even though that business is a highlight of my life, my biggest takeaway was finding my passion for code.

I have since worked at various startups and companies in increasingly technical roles. Although most of my formal experience is in data engineering and support engineering, working on the frontend is what I enjoy the most. I thrive on the quick and tangible feedback that comes along with frontend work. Also, I love knowing my work will be felt by end users directly.

Beyond code, I am very interested in personal finance. I have recently launched a blog at get-fired.com that I am using to document my journey to financial independence. I love learning and talking about personal finance because I think people can do their best work when they can have the right motivations behind their efforts. I will be launching an accompanying youtube channel sometime in the near future.

When I break away from the screens though, I love playing basketball and tennis, cycling, hiking, and traveling. I also tend to enjoy the finer things in life, like miniature tabletop wargaming, euro boardgames, vintage video games, and cryptocurrencies.
