Hi there, thanks for stop­ping by!

I’m a geek who loves Jesus and desires him to be first in all things, includ­ing About pages. He is the rea­son for being, the rea­son we con­tinue to exist, and the only hope of sal­va­tion in a world rav­aged by sin. Every­thing I owe to him: there’s noth­ing I can do alone, nor should there be any rea­son to with­out every­thing God accom­plished through his life. If you’d like to know more about what it means to fol­low Jesus Christ, take a look at this really short expla­na­tion, then get in touch if you’d like to learn more!

Long-time Syd­ney res­i­dent, I go to church in Ersk­ineville, stud­ied at uni in Dar­ling­ton, and live in Dul­wich Hill. I’m mar­ried to Tori — she’s pretty amaz­ing. I’m also attempt­ing to study Chi­nese with a medium-term goal of liv­ing in China, whilst keep­ing up all sorts of technology-related shenanigans.

Pro­fes­sional bio follows:

For over 7 years, Josh Street has worked on a wide range of web and tech­nol­ogy projects for clients big and small. Par­tic­i­pa­tion in a vari­ety of tech­nol­ogy com­mu­ni­ties such as the 4,000-strong Web Stan­dards Group since 2003 has served to fur­ther exper­tise, par­tic­u­larly in front-end web devel­op­ment (XHTML/CSS/JavaScript) and web standards/best prac­tices (acces­si­bil­ity, usable design, and SEO). 

Whether work­ing to crush that last ren­der­ing bug in the lat­est web browser, to direct­ing mul­ti­ple cam­eras sit­ting behind a vision switcher, he rel­ishes a chal­lenge and oppor­tu­ni­ties to develop new skills and har­ness estab­lished and proven ones. With a back­ground in front-end web devel­op­ment and acces­si­bil­ity best prac­tices proven on some of Australia’s most demand­ing web projects for a diverse range of clients, Josh brings a wealth of expe­ri­ence in standards-based design prac­tices. Spe­cial­is­ing in the devel­op­ment of usable web­sites, he imple­ments designs for uni­ver­sal access includ­ing mobile devices and search engines (SEO) to improve the reach and effec­tive­ness of web properties.
