About

Hi, my name is Josh. I've always had a strong passion for not just problem solving, but optimizing solutions to given challenges. This and my keen interest in technology led me to undertaking a degree in Engineering (Mechatronics) and Computer Science (Machine Learning) at the University of Queensland.

During my studies, I was exposed to the world of web development - and I immediately found an interest in being able to design, develop and build elegant software solutions. Shortly after, I gained a position as a software developer for dita Solutions where I am currently focused on crafting products for a wide range of clients.
