Joshua Zhou is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building high-performance systems and full-stack products from Berkeley, California. He founded CalTutors, shipping a React/Django/Postgres platform that generated $60k+ in six months, and has hands-on embedded and satellite systems experience from Space Sciences Laboratory where he optimized orientation algorithms and implemented real-time C++ and Python tooling for a NASA-sponsored project. Joshua is currently a Summer 2026 Starlink software intern at SpaceX while researching gyrokinetic plasma solvers at Berkeley Lab, bridging numerical linear-algebra methods with production-grade code. He combines entrepreneurial drive with scientific rigor—equally comfortable tuning PI controllers and shipping web backends—and has a knack for replacing slow numerical methods with analytical solutions to cut runtime dramatically. An eclectic communicator (and occasional folkloric GitHub bio), he brings deep technical breadth and a results-first mindset to complex engineering challenges.
