Bio
Karl Sakas
Josh is a super-smart tech guy. I don’t know how he knows as much as he does, but he always has a good solution to any problem, whether it’s solving a server outage or creating a strategy to migrate a complex suite of LAMP websites to a new hosting environment. In my new job, I’ll miss having him as an on-call technical resource.
Ken Winters
Josh has a wealth of knowledge covering the entire LAMP stack. He is the man to ask when you want to understand an obscure configuration option, weigh one library against another, or simplify your development workflow with scripting. Having dedicated IT staffers like him is critical to any company.
