Josh Beckman


I build imaginary machines for the internet and for your phones. I’m the founder of Narro, leading the engineering team at OfficeLuv, and a member of the No Nonsense Agency. I live in downtown Chicago, where I also do contract development work and provide tech advising for early-stage companies & groups. Recently, I have focused my thoughts on helping engineers communicate more effectively.
