Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoshua Askharoun is an associate software developer with eight years of hands-on experience spanning front-end and back-end web, Windows, mobile, cross-platform, and embedded systems. A Texas A&M multidisciplinary engineering graduate focused on mechatronics, he blends electronics, firmware, and UI work—having implemented microcontroller I2C logic, ARM PWM fixes, and end-to-end Flutter and ASP.NET solutions. He has shipped features and performance optimizations in legacy enterprise stacks (including 120 optimized LINQ/SQL queries and 22 feature additions) and contributed UI controls to the notable Windows Community Toolkit, where he built and refined a TabbedCommandBar for WinUI. Comfortable across C#, UWP/WinUI/WPF, Angular, Dart/Flutter, Uno, and RTOS/Linux environments, he also documents systems clearly and creates approachable diagrams and demos for users and engineers. Colleagues rely on him to translate ambiguous requirements into robust, testable designs and to improve customer-facing experiences. He’s equally at home fixing embedded hardware bugs as crafting polished cross-platform interfaces, and often combines both skills to accelerate product validation.
