Summary
Josh Harbaugh is a Senior Frontend Developer with 13 years of experience crafting accessible, responsive web interfaces using modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, Angular) and strong HTML5/CSS (LESS/SASS) practices. He blends hands-on front-end architecture and component-driven design with backend integration experience (Django REST, MySQL, Mongo) and CI/CD/testing workflows (Jest, Jenkins), ensuring robust, testable UIs. At YouGov and Catchafire he focused on performance, accessibility, and mentoring, while running his own studio, Pixelhaven, where he also leads branding and design systems work. Comfortable with server administration, Kubernetes and frontend tooling (Webpack, Vite, Gulp), he brings a designer’s eye from a Visual Arts & Design background to pragmatic engineering. Notably, his career spans enterprise product work and small-studio craftsmanship, giving him a rare blend of scalable delivery and boutique attention to UX detail.
