Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosh Childers is a chief software architect with 11 years of experience building cross-platform applications and low-level C++ systems, currently running Shin Software & Investments in Fairborn, Ohio. He combines embedded and desktop experience from roles at Leidos and the Air Force Research Laboratory with indie product development—creator of uwu2x, GBCEmulator, the Flutter-based basketweaver app, and the Lane Detector project. Comfortable across C++, Python, Qt, Flutter, Vue.js, and multimedia tooling like FFmpeg and MPEG-TS, he has shipped production video processing features and tooling while researching decentralized approaches for image processing via ERC20. Josh pairs practical engineering (installers, CI automation, Conan/Jenkins) with research-driven work (EBSD pattern recognition, materials data mining), and runs live services such as pokeimports.us. Known for maintaining long-lived personal projects, he blends systems-level rigor with a maker’s appetite for shipping cross-platform consumer and developer tools.
