I'm Josh Larson. Nice to meet you!

I'm a dad, a software engineer, and a creator. I work at Shopify, and I live near Des Moines, Iowa. I'm passionate about solving hard problems and creating great experiences for other people.

I'm married to a wonderful wife, with whom I started a software company called Barkpass. Here's some stuff I wrote recently!

Full-Stack Fundamentals

On Hold

In 2018, I started an educational website where I'd planned to record screencasts of all the cool things I learned. As it turns out, this was a lot more time-consuming than I thought, and the site never took off. But it's still out there!
