Josiah Anjos

I'm Josiah Anjos, currently in Burke, VA. I grew up in Portugal. Married, soon to be a dad. I've been building software since I was a teenager.

I worked up the ranks from Automation Engineer to Software Engineer to Senior Full Stack Software Engineer. Constantly being thrown into the unknown and coming out with a solution.

Prototype

An Elixir load testing tool so a newsletter could actually announce a new feature

2017

A mothership fans tasks to workers that hit the site with HTTP and headless browsers. Built when a Wedding Ideas launch got blocked over blast-radius fear.

Making GTARP more immersive by requiring crimes to be witnessed by NPCs

2019

I was playing on a server called Los Angeles Roleplay and noticed a lot of the crime reports that would happen could occur without anyone necessarily witnessing it, think, middle of a empty parking lot and someone sees you breaking into a car. So I picked up Lua and chatted with the main developer and asked to revamp that section, so that these things would rely on "Pedestrians" witnessing them.

Handwritten for now. No heatmap, no APIs.

    Cut list on yesterday's Delta Force recordings

    Local OpenCV and Tesseract. A text file of timestamps so editing is not a memory test.

    Stood up Josiah Lab on this domain

    Static Astro site, markdown projects, no backend. The notebook is the product for now.

    Local OCR experiments for Delta Force footage

    Trying to read the screen instead of waiting on someone to type the intel.

    err.day folded toward Chewsr

    The nutrition tracker paused. The 'what should we eat' question moved into group decisions.

    Age of the Terminal became playable in a browser

    A small Conan-themed text RPG. Complete loop, unofficial fan game.
