I'm Joshua Pozos

I’m an obsessive project maker based in Benito Juárez, Mexico City.

For more than a decade I’ve moved between digital marketing and full-stack development, helping brands, authors, and teams in Mexico, Canada, the US, and Israel ship products that are fast, understandable, and hard to kill.

Now my focus is on my own long-lived projects — opinionated tools that start as personal experiments and grow into systems others can rely on, usually somewhere between engineering, product, and technical marketing.

What I'm Building Now

Mexican Laws in Markdown

315 Mexican federal laws converted from official PDFs to structured Markdown and a canonical JSON AST — ready for AI agents, RAG pipelines, semantic search, and legal APIs. 37,939 articles, 58,310 fracciones, 35,176 reform notes.

content-model-simulator

An open-source CLI and library to preview Contentful content models entirely offline — zero API calls during simulation. Pull your schemas, modify them locally, validate, and only push when ready. Used it to build this very update.

Fast Facts

  • 6 reptiles under my care.
  • ~8,800 steps a day on average.
  • Actively studying English, French, and Russian.
  • I read 1–2 books a month — novels, tech, whatever catches my curiosity.
  • A soft spot for Pride & Prejudice (2005). 3 rewatchings every month — no shame.
  • Currently studying a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Systems Engineering (in progress).
  • Most of my long-term projects hide the same quiet motto somewhere inside them: “Arcadia Shall Flourish”.
  • Following a multi-year Coursera roadmap in AI & ML — from Python and classic machine learning to deep learning, AI engineering, agents, RAG, and data engineering.

Beyond Code

I’m not interested in shipping features for the sake of it.

I care about systems that stay alive, about stories that turn into products, and about building things that make life a little less heavy for the people who touch them.

I carry scars, stubborn dreams, and a patience forged in debt, doubt, and starting over more times than I’d like to admit.

Some of that leaks into the projects I build.

My Philosophy

"I want freedom, and I’m willing to accept every consequence that comes with it."

I don’t want a life organized around other people’s calendars.

I want time to build, to learn, to walk, to read, to enjoy the people I love — and room to have fun in the process.

Work, for me, is a tool to buy that kind of freedom, not a stage to perform on.

Every decision has a cost. I prefer to pay mine consciously: if something fails, I’d rather it be the result of my own choices than of drifting along.

I try to follow a few simple lines:

  • Build assets, not only hours sold.

  • Protect time and health as seriously as money.

  • Create things that are useful, but also genuinely enjoyable to make.

  • Accept consequences without excuses.

All of this points to a long-term, quiet project I call Arcadia:
a future where life is lighter for the people around me.

Arcadia Shall Flourish.

How I Think About Work

I like projects where:

- There's a clear purpose beyond "we need a website".
- People respect time — their own and everyone else's.
- We can write things down, not just talk about them.
- We're allowed to iterate instead of pretending to get it perfect on day one.

I enjoy simplifying complexity without dumbing it down, and I care a lot about performance, accessibility, and clear content.

Full-Stack Developer
  • Led the migration of WordPress sites to modern architectures using Gatsby/Next.js and headless CMS solutions such as Contentful and Sanity, significantly improving site performance and scalability.

  • Developed advanced user interfaces with React.js, Next.js, Gatsby, and Astro, focusing on user experience, accessibility, and maintainability.

  • Implemented automated UI testing with Cypress, ensuring high-quality releases and reducing manual QA efforts.

  • Developed internationalized websites using Next.js and next-intl, implementing i18n best practices on the frontend and designing Sanity CMS schemas that allow users to add and manage content in both English and Spanish.

  • Engineered an AWS S3 migration pipeline for WordPress media libraries: authored server-side scripts that (1) audit existing assets, (2) upload only missing files to the S3 bucket, (3) rewrite database URLs to point at the new CDN paths, and (4) remove migrated files from the local server—slashing storage costs and accelerating page-load times.

  • Deliver ongoing maintenance and feature enhancements for Webflow sites, building pixel-perfect updates and custom API integrations (e.g., Zapier webhooks, Zoom scheduling, bespoke REST endpoints) that extend functionality without sacrificing performance or SEO.

  • Developing a multi-tenant SaaS platform with Laravel, Inertia.js, and React: separating a global "master" database from client-specific databases, enforcing tenant isolation, and laying the groundwork for scalable and secure growth.
