Software that does a real job.

I’m Joshua, a Computer Science student at Middlesex University Mauritius and an independent developer.

I started web development at 14, learning the full stack, from the page you see down to the server and database behind it. For a long time it was just a hobby. Now it’s my work, and I still enjoy it as much as when I started.

At university, the parts I like most are how systems are actually put together and how computing gets applied in other fields. I want the things I build to bring value you can measure, not just look good in a demo.

AI is a useful tool, but a company that wants to stand out needs more than what everyone else can already generate. It needs someone who can think outside the box and who knows how the system underneath should work. That’s the part of the job I enjoy most.

In my free time I swim, read and play video games (puzzle games especially). I also like getting out into nature whenever I can.
