Hallo!

I'm Josias and I love exploring my curiosity. I live in Cameroon and spend most of my time hacking together weird, useful, or slightly broken things.

I work at Hack Club (aka The Hack Foundation), where I write open-source software and run grant programs that help teenagers learn to code — mostly by encouraging them to make stuff and share it.

Outside of code, I’m usually chasing a tennis ball 🎾, wandering off on hikes ⛰️, or helping run research at Amea. I also co-organize events like the TiC Summit and Open Dreams Summer Academy.

You can reach me at hey@josiasw.dev, or browse my GitHub if you’re curious what I’ve been hacking on.
