Hi, I’m Josh.
I wrote my first line of code when I was seven, and I’ve loved making helpful stuff for people ever since.
I earned my degree in Computer Science and Math at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and graduated in 2020. While in college, I built tools to help nonprofits through Hack4Impact.
