About Me

I’m Joshua Were, a Kenyan-American mathematics/computer science student at Columbia University passionate about engineering, creativity, technology, and sustainability. I love blending technical skills with artistic vision to bring ideas to life in ways that are both impactful and authentic.

I conducted sustainable research at Columbia and NASA, exploring how computational modeling and machine learning can help tackle climate-driven challenges like wildfires and flooding. Creatively, I work across video and music production, 3D design, computational media, and digital content creation. I fell in love with making during the pandemic through game development on Roblox, and now I lead larger projects, including Saving Creative Lives, which has exposed over 200 students in underserved communities to programming, 3D modeling, music, photography, and STEM.

Currently, I work in C/C++, building real-time systems, audio tools, and machine-learning driven creative applications. These are projects that let me merge engineering with musical imagination and bring innovative ideas into the world.
