Hi, I’m Josh Fraser and am the co-founder and CEO of Torbit. Torbit makes websites faster by automating front-end optimizations that are proven to increase the speed of your website.

I graduated from Clemson University in 2006 with a BS in computer science – Go Tigers!

I previously co-founded EventVue, which provided tools to help conference organizers build community and market their events online. EventVue was part of the TechStars startup incubator in Boulder in 2007.

I started this blog as a way to share what I am learning with the rest of the world. I don’t code as much as I would like anymore. When I do code, I spend most of my time with PHP, MySQL and JavaScript, but occasionally flirt with C++, Java, Python and Shell Scripting. I’m a huge believer in open-source software and have contributed to several projects like PubSubHubbub.

I LOVE public speaking and have been privileged to given talks at The Ajax Experience, Velocity conference, Ignite Boulder and other events.

I believe in the power of mentorship. I’ve been fortunate to be surrounded by many wise mentors and am honored to mentor others through two of the TechStars programs — TechStars Cloud in San Antonio, TX and The Next Big Thing in Greenville, SC (which is part of the TechStars network).

I grew up in Scotland and have dual citizenship. I’m 27 and still love lego. I currently live in Mountain View, CA and plan to see the world from outer space one day.
