Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosh Ferrell is a design systems engineer and technical leader with ~9–10 years building accessible, scalable component libraries and developer tooling using React, TypeScript, and CSS. He has driven design system adoption and accessibility at scale—resolving hundreds of accessibility violations, integrating Contentful with Storybook, and improving developer DX with monorepo tooling and custom CLI utilities. Josh has repeatedly accelerated delivery (e.g., consolidating legacy apps into a single Next.js platform and cutting product creation from months to days) while mentoring cross-functional teams. Comfortable across full-stack concerns, he pairs front-end craftsmanship with backend integrations (GraphQL, serverless Lambdas) and pragmatic CI/E2E improvements like Playwright migrations. Based in Omaha, he combines rapid prototyping instincts (shipping a collaboration tool in a month) with a steady focus on reproducible, accessible UI systems.
