Josh W Lewis

I'm a web software engineer in Memphis. I design and build software systems for users with high a standard of experience, performance, and quality. I typically use a mix of Ruby, JavaScript, Go, Elixir, and Oxford commas.

Currently, I'm creating new workflows for developers at Heroku and co-organize Memphis Ruby. Previously, I co-founded Emergent Coils.

I occasionally write essays related to web software and development, the sum of which is available here. Here are some of my most recent:

• Error Handling in Elixir with Plug.Exception
• Rails Unit Measurement Persistence
• Unitwise: Ruby Unit Measurement Math and Conversion
• Rails' ActiveSupport try

I also occasionally give talks to user groups and conferences. The slides are listed here. Here are a few selections:

• Single Page Applications with Backbone.js and Marionette.js
• Elixir and Phoenix - Web Scale Made Fun
• Ember.js - An Introduction
• Exploring Ruby's Enumerable and Comparable
