Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosh Hill is a pragmatic C/C++ developer with a decade of experience building performance-sensitive software across email security, GIS tooling, and full-stack web systems. He blends low-level systems expertise—optimizing multi-threaded C++ and porting legacy code to modern C++ standards—with practical higher-level work in Python, TypeScript, and cloud deployments. At SMX he focuses on security-oriented C++ development, while past roles include QGIS and AutoCAD plugin work and full-stack product delivery using React, Node.js and Rust. Josh is comfortable moving between embedded-style problems and web APIs, and he values leaving code that’s efficient and maintainable even if it teases the next maintainer. He also brings an educator’s mindset from years teaching systems and debugging, which helps him distill complex issues into actionable fixes. Based in Auckland, he combines academic rigor (BSc Hons in Computer Science) with hands-on, cross-domain engineering.
