Josh Kowarsky is a software engineer and startup founder with 11 years of experience building consumer mobile products and leading front-end efforts. He’s a founding engineer of Islands (the Slack for College) and was an early iOS lead at 5by, which became a top video discovery app recognized by Apple and Google. Josh’s background spans game development (founder/CTO of JKLOL) to senior engineering roles at WeWork and Saturn, and he currently builds at Snap in San Francisco. He focuses on crafting beautiful, high-impact mobile experiences and has a track record of shipping products that scale to millions. Less obvious: he blends a game-dev sensibility for user engagement with practical startup execution, making him as comfortable prototyping novel UX as driving production stability.
