# Josh Yager > Full Stack Engineer, Front End | React.js | Node.js Location: Raleigh, North Carolina, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/joshyager Josh was the number one employee at San Francisco-based startup Ntropy Data, driving the work that led to its acquisition by Civica in 2021. As the principal front-end developer at Ntropy, he spearheaded UI design and development of the entire product line and played a fundamental role in the envisioning, creation, and execution of Ntropy’s premier offering: a comprehensive community engagement platform featuring a suite of over 40 engagement, feedback, and analytical tools. In the summer of 2019, the City of Sydney utilized the platform to engage with their population of over 5 million, winning the International Association for Public Participation Award in the process. The community engagement platform that Josh designed became the primary focus for Ntropy Data’s acquisition by Civica in February of 2021. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Project Resources Group, Inc.
