Josh Silverman - creative strategy for web development.

A little bit about me:

My first computer was a Commodore 64 back when floppy disks were still a "thing." That was all I needed to get hooked on computers. I've remained a tech junkie ever since.

Much of my professional life has been as a stock trader. I've used many software platforms to invest and trade for a Wall Street Firm, a hedge-fund, and as a proprietary trader.

As an avid learner, I built my wife a website for her real estate business before I was formally trained in coding. A few months later, I enrolled in UC-Berkeley's 6 month intensive Full-Stack Developer Certificate program to pursue a career in Web Development. I've used this focus to build polished personal and small business websites, complex web-apps that consume mutiple API's, as well as interactive, memorable, and functional apps that leave an impression on the user. I discovered I love building apps more than trading!

What I love most about Web Development is that it is a constant challenge. Tools are always changing and one is in a state of continual learning and adapting. Transforming an idea into something you can see and feel after hours of hard-work is extremely satisfying. I love finding solutions to problems, fixing stuff, and creating new sites and apps. Coding has given me a methodical approach to crafting functional, well-designed products.

In my free time, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, sketching, mountain-biking and refereeing youth soccer matches
