Overview
Professional Life
I develop software applications for Mac OS X and the web. I'm also a usability analyst and user interface designer. My work has won awards and recognition and is used by tens of thousands of people worldwide. On a typical day, I'am a developer, a UI and graphics designer, a webmaster, a support technician, a marketing manager, an accountant, and more.
I specialize in developing for the Mac platform (Cocoa / Objective-C / Xcode). I'm a Cocoa developer for hire.
Personal Life
I'm a creative, plain-spoken, open-minded thirty-something who possesses and appreciates a great sense of humor. I find self importance and willful stupidity equally irritating. I enjoy fiction, comedy, wine, and cats. Fox Sunday cartoons amuse me to no end. I'm moderately obsessive-compulsive, and find that fact humorous. I read constantly (technical books, news, web logs, as well as fiction) and enjoy a wide variety of music. I'm originally from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, lived just outside Washington, DC for awhile, but now live on the lake in quiet New Market, Maryland.
About My Name
Although it seems to be very Italian in origin, my immediate family knows little of our supposed Italian paternal roots. We pronounce it, "NOZ-eye", not "NOZ-ee", nor "NOT-zee" (the latter being - evidently - the preferred Italian pronunciation). If you meet me and feel the need, please resist the urge to 'correct' me. It's my name and I'll pronounce it as I wish. :-) In any case, most people call me Josh. Joshua is fine, though. "Hey you!" works almost as well ...
