Hey, I'm Josh
I'm an actor, software engineer, and occasional writer. In a past life I was also a moderately successful Counter Strike Youtuber. I'm a big fan of travel, flight free where possible, and when not on or behind a screen I can usually be found on a hike, doing some improv or playing games with friends.
Currently, I'm a Fullstack Engineer at Pret A Manger, where I help look after our loyalty platform and other internal systems. Previously, I spent 3 years as a Software Engineer at OVO where I helped build and maintain their energy trading platform.
