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.

YTC
ArchivedYouTube transcript converter, sunsetted
2025
A Chrome extension and Rails backend that pulled a transcript off a video with one click. I turned it off instead of keeping a server warm for a tool I was not using.

ActivePublic E-Rate prices that look odd vs peers, so a person can explain them
2026
It pulls USAC Open Data into DuckDB, scores line items against a stated cohort, then Jev decides whether a human should look. It is not a fraud model. The viewer is local, and there is no LLM.

Crime Reports in FiveM
PrototypeMaking 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.
