Joshua Harris

I'm a 20 year old software engineer & founder based in Jamaica.

I design, build and run software that holds up under scale. Currently running Vertile Hosting and building NarrateNow. I specialize in hosting and backend infrastructure: billing systems, control panels, and the unglamorous plumbing that keeps a product online. I don't ship what I wouldn't run myself.

About

Started with Minecraft mods and never stopped coding.

I was 12 and trying to write Minecraft mods on a laptop that couldn't really run Java. So I went looking for something it could handle. I discovered Discord bots which led me to websites, then the servers those websites were ran on, and somewhere along the way infrastructure became the part I liked the most. At 13 I started my first business.

Seven years later that's turned into billing systems, game control panels, support bots, marketing sites, and SaaS products. Some of it solo, some with teams, across hosting, marketing, and payments. And I'm doing all of it while finishing a CS degree at UTech, Jamaica.

Focus

Infrastructure and building SaaS products.

Interests

Economics, history, strategy, cooking, and chess.

Open to contract work, part-time roles, and conversations that don't have a clear point yet. I reply to everything.
