Hi, I'm Josh

Lead Frontend Engineer | React, Next.js & Accessibility Specialist

About Me

I'm a Frontend Technical Lead with 12+ years of experience building web applications, with a particular focus on accessible React applications, frontend architecture and design systems.

What keeps me interested in frontend is the combination of engineering and creativity. I enjoy taking a complicated problem, breaking it down into reusable components and turning it into something that feels simple and intuitive for the person using it.

Day to day, I sit somewhere between technical delivery, architecture and people. I work closely with designers on technical feasibility and accessible implementation, collaborate with product owners and business analysts to shape upcoming work, and mentor developers as we build and maintain frontend systems that teams can be proud of.

I've worked extensively with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React, with accessibility being a particular area of interest throughout my career. I'm especially interested in building accessible component libraries and design systems that make doing the right thing easier for the developers using them.

I'm also currently working on expanding my accessibility knowledge through the IAAP CPACC and WAS certifications, alongside continuing to develop my understanding of frontend architecture and the wider technology landscape.

Outside of work, I'm usually with my wife and our two boys. My wife and I love playing video games together, whether that's trying to get the best lap times on Mario Kart or teaming up in Fortnite. Once a month I sit down with some old school friends for Dungeons & Dragons — which can be great managerial practice, as playing with them is basically trying to herd cats.
