PHP Developer._

Hello, I'm Josh Tillman._

Action-oriented

Words state whom you wish to be, but actions prove who you really are.

Leader

Great leaders do not set course to be a leader— they set course to make the difference.

Intelligence

Keep the mind open, curious, reflective— and always seeking solutions.

MY STORY

I enjoy churning over problems in complex code.

I want to discover and write the simple, user intuitive— and usually automated— solution. My favorite coding projects involve taking time-consuming tasks and reducing them to a press-of-a-button or a simple cronjob.

When I am not coding, you will find me fully immersed in and enjoying all that life has to offer or perhaps I am plugged-in to my latest favorite video game!

Accessible websites always include alt text, captions, color contrast, keyboard input; and they employ well-structured code, effectively, and in the pursuit of user equity.

Swearing at Code?

It is not scientifically proven that swearing at your code will make it automagically work as you intend.

Finding Balance in Client Project Expectations
