I’m Josh, a 26-year-old software developer from Wales, UK. I hold a degree in Electrical & Electronic
Engineering, during which I completed a five-year apprenticeship with WSP UK. I’m currently employed at
V-TECH UK, where I code games in C++ for a variety of clients.
I have a strong background in C++ and Lua, having used C++ as my primary language for game development
and Lua for scripting. I’ve built UI systems using XML for in-game visuals, and my electrical
engineering studies gave me hands-on experience with C in embedded systems. To broaden my skill set,
I’ve completed several Unity projects in C# for Dreamfire Studios.
On the Java side, I specialize in Spigot & Bukkit plugin development—having delivered custom plugins for
both individual clients and Dreamfire Studios. I’m well-versed in Minecraft internals (NMS), packet
handling, and ProtocolLib, and I continuously leverage these tools to craft performant, maintainable
server plugins.
