Joshua Stanford

Web Developer

Austin, TX

I'm a general technology enthusiast. I'm motivated by creating efficiencies for developers, management, and end users. I have strong experience with support, team skills, and written communication, taken form years of management at small to medium companies. I'm looking for opportunities to continue to grow and learn in a team environment. I believe in clean code and the values of extensibility and maintainability.

Large language models aren't the answer. There are a number of issues with code maintenance, accuracy, and inbred nature of AI. I like AI, but it's not going to organize the project, maintain it, or make it unique and better than anything else. It has its place, I do love a nice boilerplate.

I've taught myself HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and I've been working with React and Node for a few years. I'd like to be in the industry that keeps me motivated and learning new things, so I took a coding bootcamp recently. Recently, I've picked up GDScript and Godot (It's just special Python really), and I'm working on a game. I'll put up a beta here when I polish it up a bit.
