Computer Engineering student interested in building thoughtful, reliable technology across a wide range of domains.
About Me
Engineering the Future
Hi, I'm Joshua Perez, a Computer Engineering student at the University of Central Florida with a strong interest in building, learning, and solving problems through technology.
I enjoy working across a wide range of technical areas, including software development, systems-level programming, and projects that bridge hardware and software. I'm curious by nature and like understanding how things work, then applying that knowledge to create practical, well-structured solutions.
I've worked on projects ranging from full-stack applications and interactive visualizations to low-level and coursework-driven systems projects. These experiences have helped me develop strong fundamentals, adapt quickly to new tools and environments, and collaborate effectively.
Outside of academics, I'm a member of Theta Tau, a professional engineering fraternity, where I've strengthened my teamwork, leadership, and communication skills while working alongside other motivated engineering students.
I'm open to opportunities across many roles and industries and am excited to continue learning while contributing to meaningful and impactful work.
