Welcome!
I’m Josh. I do a mix of things, mostly related to software development, rock climbing, and helping software developers and rock climbers be better at what they do.
My wife and I are based in Golden, CO, but both work remotely and spend a fair bit of time traveling.
Get in touch via twitter or email.
