Hello, I'm Joshua

A dynamic professional with a passion for transforming raw data into meaningful insights and building engaging web solutions. As a aspiring data analyst and web developer, I thrive on the intersection of data-driven decision-making and creating seamless online experiences. On other fronts I also have a fascination for photography and enjoy spend much of my time taking pictures. I have included some of my favourites on this site. As for my education, I graduated from the University of Waterloo with a Bachelors of Science in Honors Physics. My programming background consists of both professional experience, from interships at companies such as Rogers Communications and Teledyne Dalsa, and academic experience, from inperson and online courses.
