About

Let's skip the typical LinkedIn "Joshua is a skilled engineer with X years experience herp derp derp" and get down to brass tacks. After dropping out of college and moving to Silicon Valley like a good little non-conformist, I spent fifteen years or so wearing a nondescript tech swag hoodie, toting Bose QC headphones and my corporate MacBook everywhere, and ignoring any meaningful social cues implying "please leave me alone, this is Chipotle and I just work here" so I could hear myself talk out loud at eager listeners about the ins-and-outs of binary space partitioning in the DOOM renderer. Then one day I looked up from Clang output that was reminiscent of Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs warning me to "turn back lest ye face dire consequences" and said, "you know what? Instead of doing this, I'd really rather spend the next decade in school and go broke in the process so I can live out the rest of my days getting puked on at 3AM." So now I'm doing ARDS research and shooting for medical school. You can find me hanging around the chemistry department at the College of Charleston at bizarre hours under the guise of "studying" whilst plotting with ChatGPT about how inadvertently to attract the attention of the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration. No, I do not know anything about the missing fluoroantimonic acid, please stop asking. My skillset includes software development, belligerent masochism, organic chemistry, and inappropriate Warhammer 40k references.
