Fostering connections through well-crafted digital experiences
I’m Josh White, a full-stack web developer with a special interest in front-end development and design. I’m currently working on the next version of eeds. Before that, I built web applications at Purdue University.
I have a PhD in analytic philosophy from Purdue, where my research focused on epistemology–specifically, the epistemic mechanisms and consequences of enculturation.
