Hi, I'm Joshua — I build solutions that empower people and communities.
I'm a full stack developer whose journey spans the intersections of technology, education, and nonprofit work. Whether I'm developing AI-enhanced platforms for nonprofits, teaching computer science concepts to fellow students, or building solutions for local businesses, my goal remains the same: using technology to strengthen communities and create positive change.
My experiences have shaped my approach to technology, and it drives me to create solutions that are not just technically sound, but truly impactful for the people who use them.
Real Projects
sscf.org
I built and maintain the website for the East Bay Spanish Speaking Citizens' Foundation. Using Next.js, Bootstrap, and SCSS, I created a modern platform that serves the community. The integration of AI components streamlines contact inquiries, while the strategic use of AI development tools like Cursor helped reduce development costs, allowing the organization to focus more resources on their core mission.

When this local business needed a website refresh, I delivered a modern, responsive solution in just 48 hours. Built with Next.js, Bootstrap, and SCSS, the new site effectively showcases their services while being cost-effective for the client.

Clinet needed a website to establish their online presence after opening a new restaurant in San Francisco's Valencia street. I built a simple and clean website using a popular website builder to allow the client to manage their own content. Website was built within 24 hours while keeping costs minimal.
mellow-brioche.netlify.app
During my internship at the Center for Accessibility in Berkeley, CA, I designed and developed a prototype website focusing on accessibility-first principles. Using Figma for design and vanilla web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) for implementation, I created a clean, minimalist solution. While not selected as the final design, this project deepened my understanding of accessible web development.
