Web developer, agency founder, and maker of small things.
I'm Josh — a UK-based web developer. I run Prystine, a web agency, and build products and tools across the web. This is where I write about building, shipping, and the occasional tangent.

I couldn't say when my boiler was last serviced or what the kitchen paint was. The answers existed, just nowhere I could find them. So I started building.
