About Me in 10 Minutes
Hey there. This isn’t some polished LinkedIn intro. This is the real me — in all my chaotic, creative, learning-as-I-go glory. If we had a coffee and talked for a while, this is what I’d probably say.
📍 Origin Story
I was born in Cambridge, England, in 2011. Some of my earliest memories are oddly vivid: the hum of my mum cooking, foggy windows on cold mornings, the rhythm of British streets, and the warmth of a close-knit home.
Moving to Brisbane, Australia at age 7 shook things up. I remember looking out of the plane, not quite understanding how far away I was going. The air felt different. The sun was louder. But that contrast? It shaped me.
🧠 How I Learn
I learn by touching stuff. Not literally (okay, sometimes), but through interaction. I have to pull it apart, see how it works, fail a bit, try again, and then — boom — it sticks.
I carry notebooks, sticky notes, random Google Docs full of half-baked thoughts. I find learning is messier than school makes it seem, but way more fun when it's on your own terms.
💻 The First Spark
I started exploring tech during the COVID lockdowns. I opened up a code editor, poked around HTML, and suddenly — something clicked. That feeling of typing something and seeing it come to life on screen? Addicting.
I didn’t just stop at websites. I dived into game development with Unity and Godot, learned how computers tick, started designing UIs, and 3D printed things I imagined the night before. To me, tech is a playground for curiosity and creativity.
🛠 Projects That Light Me Up
Some kids built Lego. I built that too — and then tried to motorise it. I’ve made bird delivery games, AI file renaming tools, debater timers, and robotics projects with my team. I’m not in it for fame — I’m in it for fun. The joy of building something just because I can is magic.
I also obsess over little “quality-of-life” things. If something annoys me enough times, I try to fix it. A better script, a smarter system, a 3D printed hook for my desk. No problem is too small.
🎓 High School & Beyond
Yep, I’m in high school. And no, I’m not one of those kids who says “I hate school.” I actually enjoy a lot of it — especially when it intersects with real life. I’m part of my school’s robotics and debating teams, and I love digging into science, tech, and how things work under the hood.
I don’t just chase A’s. I chase understanding. I chase ideas that keep me up at night.
🧠 Interests That Spiral
I fall into rabbit holes. Deep ones. One week it’s Formula 1 strategy breakdowns, the next it’s how medieval castles were built or the ethics of AI. I follow my curiosity wherever it wanders.
Current obsessions: indie game mechanics, tiny house designs, human-computer interaction, and how to make things feel more “real” digitally.
🎨 Creativity Outside the Code
I draw, design, tinker, remix. Music plays a huge role in my world — I’m always soundtracking my life (Spotify is my second home). I’ve also started writing a bit more, mostly to make sense of what’s in my head.
I’ve played with animation, video editing, UI design, and even tried digital painting. Some things turn out bad. Some turn out better than expected. That’s the thrill.
🌍 Philosophy of Joshua
Build things before you feel ready. Share them before you feel finished. Learn by doing, failing, repeating. And always ask, “What’s one step I can take right now?”
I’m a big believer in small consistent efforts — tiny seeds that turn into forests over time. And I don’t wait for permission. If something excites me, I go for it.
🤝 Why I Made This Page
Because sometimes, we scroll past a hundred perfect profiles and still don’t know a person. I want this to be different. I want this to feel like a handshake, a cup of tea, a “hey, I see you.”
If you're here — maybe you're curious, maybe you're bored, maybe you're a future collaborator. Either way, welcome in.
✨ Random Facts About Me

- I’ve built more projects than I’ve finished. And that’s okay.
- I walk a lot just to think.
- I make mood playlists. Obsessively.
- I love rainy days with warm drinks and long podcasts.
- I once fixed a jammed 3D printer with a chopstick.
