Cheerful robot with a green sprout

Hi, I’m Joshua Perina

My name is Joshua Perina from Sooke, BC, Canada.

I am a software developer, entrepreneur and farmer. I have been building a lot of things in technology over the past 30 years and started farming in 2020.

I use this site to organize and publish some thoughts I have on technology and occasionally on life. This site is published on OffPress which is a new AI powered CMS system I've developed.

If you're someone I've met along the way and want to reach out, please feel free to contact me. I'm always happy to hear from old friends and connections.
