About me: Passionate Foodie and Aspiring Freelancer

Hello, I’m Joshua, a software engineer with experience in full-stack development, data engineering, and machine learning. I studied computer science at NYU, worked at Google for a few years, and spent some time at a startup right after college. Along the way, I’ve explored small projects on my own, like setting up a Shopify store and joining startup programs to understand how ideas turn into real products.

Starting Out in Freelance

Hi! I‘m Joshua, a web developer helping local restaurants get mobile-friendly, modern websites that show off your food, bring in new customers, and make it easy for people to find and order from you online. I‘m just beginning my journey into freelance work, looking to support restaurants and small businesses that need solid, reliable help with their websites and digital tools. I bring experience from Google and startup environments, and I’m ready to apply that to real-world problems in a practical way. If you‘re running a restaurant or business and want a site that looks good, works well on any device, and helps people find you, or have any technical request or need — I am here to help you.
