Josh McDannel

Senior Frontend Architect

I build enterprise-grade frontend systems that deliver elevated experiences for every user.

I architect frontend systems for enterprise brands across automotive, financial services, eCommerce, and healthcare. Over 25 years, I've led teams of 3 to 20 engineers, built global multi-brand platforms, and shipped high-performance applications used by millions.

Currently I'm building personalized interfaces for a leading wealth management platform, where I also work with emerging AI tools and workflows to accelerate delivery.

My software engineering consulting operates under Track & Trestle Technology, LLC—delivering exceptional frontend solutions that combine technical excellence with business value.
