About me

Hi! I’m Josh Chan. Currently, I’m a Sr. Staff Software Engineer at Fanatics, creating a one stop shop for sports fans.

Before that, I was a Staff Software Engineer at Misfits Market, helping make it the #1 online grocer by revamping the loyalty program and building a geographically dynamic cart experience.

In the past, I’ve built drafting experiences, unlocked integration and performance testing for our org, and spoken about our technology as a software engineer for FanDuel. I’ve also I helped others prototype their ideas using cutting-edge tools and old-fashioned elbow grease at the Rutgers Makerspace.

Before that, I attended Rutgers University, studying Electrical and Computer Engineering with a focus in Computer Engineering. I graduated in 3 years with honors.

I’m intensely curious about using technology to amplify human productivity and change the way we live and think.

Consulting

I’ve worked with a few choice clients over the years to both advise, build and drive tech. Some of that includes:

  • Tastemaker - a mobile social app centered around multimedia: movies, tv shows, books, you name it.
  • SportsStack - a unified data platform for sport data, greatly simplifying integrations and applications requiring it.
  • Maharlika NYC - the landing page, website and analytics stack of one of the top Filipino restaurants in NYC
  • Pluto - an mobile app for on-demand gig work, similar to TaskRabbit

You can see a more exhaustive list of things I’ve done (and my resume) here. If you want to work with me, email me at [email protected]!

I'm open to a limited number of consultancy projects; if you think I can help you out, let's chat! When I'm free, I write about engineering, technology, HCI and the future of computing. If you like what I have to say, feel free to buy me a coffee and/or subscribe below for updates.
