Joshua Lopez

Hello there! My name is Josh and I am a highly motivated Full-Stack Software Engineer in Houston,Texas.
I am available for contract/freelance work doing either front-end or back-end, while I pursue new job opportunities.
Prior to becoming a developer, I worked at UPS as a Package Delivery Driver but was also CHSP Co-chair of the safety committee managing a team of over 70+ drivers. I became a leader and a mentor to new-hires and hope to bring that leadership into software developing.
Here are some fun facts when I am not coding

• riding my motorcycle
• playing with my kids
• working on cars
• playing competitive videos games, soccer or basketball.
