From construction to building software.

I trained as a bricklayer in Switzerland, earning the EFZ qualification. I then worked in bricklaying and customer-facing building work, followed by roles with site responsibilities. Later, I advised customers in the building materials trade.

This introduced me to different sides of the work: delivery on site, coordination within a business and the questions raised in customer conversations.

Four years ago, I started teaching myself to code. Since then, I have built CalcBud and several smaller apps. Some are not publicly available, but they are part of my practical experience.

The learning continues: AI and software development are subjects I keep working on.

CalcBud is a web application developed by Joshua for material quantities. Its concrete calculator turns length, width, height and quantity into a volume. Material selection and an allowance feed into the calculation of the required number of bags.

Staff at a builders’ merchant use CalcBud through their intranet. This shows a specific task implemented as an application people use. CalcBud uses defined calculation rules.
