CURRENTLY BUILDING AT AUGMENT CODE
I build calm, useful software for complicated days.

NO. 01 — PROFILE
Built by curiosity.
I’m Josh—an engineer, husband, and father building from Tulsa for teams around the world.
My path into software was not linear. It moved through blue-collar work, online school, YouTube, technical support, and finally the web. That detour shaped how I work: stay curious, make the complex legible, and never lose sight of the person using the thing.

Progress compounds when feedback arrives early and often.
Follow the useful questions.
The best technical advantage is still a mind that wants to know why.
