Portrait of Josef Chose Sima

Developer & Product Designer

A creative person who must always be building. After 20+ years in tech — from webmaster to CTO — I discovered that my true passion lies at the intersection of development and product design. I love finding new paths and solutions that aren't obvious at first glance — and then building them myself. From idea to working prototype to production-ready application, I do it all. Full-stack developer, building for web, mobile, and desktop.
