Joshua Kac

Full-stack & mobile engineer · Founder, Project Yoked LLC
Parker, CO · Open to select freelance and collaboration

Portfolio LinkedIn Email


Overview

I build end-to-end products: web and mobile clients, APIs, data layers, and the operational pieces around them (performance, caching, observability, deployment). I’ve been writing code for 15+ years and lead product engineering as CEO/Founder of Project Yoked LLC.

Focus areas

  • Product-grade React and React Native / Expo applications
  • FastAPI and Python backends, PostgreSQL, Redis, and pragmatic cloud usage (AWS, containers)
  • Open source libraries where reusable pieces deserve a public home

More detail, case studies, and visuals: solutions.ironcoffee.com.

Hiking, skiing, ice skating, camping, fishing, driving, music — mostly anything that gets me outside or recharges focus.
