About Me
My name is Joshua, although most call me Josh, and I am a software developer and AI enthusiast with a truly global background. Born in South Africa, I've called Uganda, Ivory Coast, and now Canada home.
My international upbringing in American and British international schools sparked my curiosity for technology and diverse cultures. This led me to pursue Computer Science at the University of British Columbia, where I fell in love with data and machine learning.
Outside of coding, I am a lifelong traveler with a passport full of stamps and stories from all over the world. From thrilling safaris to iconic landmarks, each journey has impacted my perspective and approaches to problem-solving.
When I'm not discovering new technology or destinations, you can find me rooting for Liverpool FC, a passion I've had since childhood. My diversified background and love of challenges inspire me to produce creative solutions in software development and artificial intelligence.
