Top SchoolJosh Lazar is a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience building modern web applications for both startups and large enterprises, currently at Artisan Studios in Cambridge, MA. He specializes in TypeScript, React, Next.js, GraphQL, Node and AWS serverless stacks, often taking projects from ideation to deployment and rescuing under-architected apps. Josh blends hands-on coding with team leadership and mentoring, having led frontend teams and overseen outsourced developers for MVP and beta launches. He has a knack for pragmatic architecture—evident in rearchitecting image management with IndexedDB/LocalForage—and enjoys debating best practices down to CSS framework choices. His background in public policy and research (Johns Hopkins/ OECD) gives him a rare ability to translate complex domain requirements into clear product and technical decisions.
