Josias Aurel

hi, i'm josias

I enjoy nerding around with computers and learning new things.

Besides spending a disproportionate amount of time in front of my computer screen 👨🏽‍💻, I enjoy reading (psychology, science and philosophy among others) 📚, writing ✍🏽, hiking ⛰️ and playing tennis 🎾.


I am currently working remotely as a Software Engineer at Hack Club HQ while on a Gap Year.
Previously, I worked for four (4) months as a Software Developer at a small e-commerce startup in my local town Yaounde, Cameroon.
I graduated high-school in 2022 and I'm looking forward to major in Computer Science when I get into University.

On the side, I'm currently developing a tool for creative exploration in education called Doodle.

Also, I'm prototyping a new e-commerce platform called Baskket with a friend - will hopefully share more about that in the near future.

Besides that, I'm trying to get into hardware development and embedded systems while building a drone with a friend and contributing to Sprig firmware.

Buffer

Buffer · Personal

Buffer is a tool that allows me to share text and links across devices. I built it because I found myself sharing short text between my phone and computer a lot.

LinksBook [discontinued]

LinksBook [discontinued] · Personal

A full-featured bookmark manager written. The project was built over a period of two months so that I could manage my articles (save, read, write summaries, remind myself via email etc) but was later turned into a product that I stopped maintaining.
