Josh Karasik

Hey, I'm Josh.

Software engineer in Los Angeles. I build software that makes hard things feel effortless, at work and on my own.

How I got here

I studied political science and interned at the Senate in Washington, DC. That's where I realized law wasn't for me.

I'd loved tech since I was little. A friend took me to a Thai restaurant and told me to look into coding, and I fell in love. Building things that actually make someone's day better is what gets me going.

What I'm doing now
