Built with Next.js, GSAP, Lenis and Vanta.

● Open to projects, roles and research collaborations

Useful software for research, safety and everyday work.

I’m Joshua Wang, a developer and Computer Science student in Mauritius. I build tools that help people find the right research, spot scams and cut repetitive admin, and I’m upfront about what each one can and can’t do yet.

02 Method

How I work.

The same four steps, whether it’s a research tool, a scam checker or a booking system for a small business.

  1. 01

    Listen

    Understand the real task, the people doing it and what already works.

  2. 02

    Plan

    Agree on the rules the software must follow and the smallest useful first version.

  3. 03

    Build

    Build in small, visible steps so you can see progress and give feedback early.

  4. 04

    Check

    Test what could go wrong and write down plainly what it can and can’t do.

03 Background

Between study, consulting and building.

I enjoy the work behind the scenes: making sure information is accurate, rules are followed and complicated things feel simple to use.
