The Starchy Developer
About
Hey there, I'm Josiah Hamm, a freelance developer and robotics engineer based in Denver, CO, with a passion for making ideas real through leadership, problem-solving, and teaching.
Some days, I build beautiful and functional web applications that join art and technology to create engaging user experiences.
Other days, I design, test, and fabricate robots and other machines. I love watching something move from a thought to a digital model to reality.
I also enjoy competitive robotics, reading up on Star Wars / Warhammer 40,000 lore, rock climbing, hiking and competitve programming.
Portfolio
Robo Lobo Bellos — Robotics Team Website
I developed a website for my robotics team, the Robo-Lobo-Bellos. It increased awareness of our team, and attracted sponsors. I cooperated with teammates to acquire media.
Jimmi - FIRST Competitive Robot
I led a small team through the process of designing and fabricating a robot for the FIRST robotics competition. I modeled the robot using Onshape CAD, and instructed my peers on use of multiple fabrication techniques including CNC milling, 3d printing, and drilling, earning my team our highest placement ever.
Time Tracker - Clock-In/Clock-Out Solution
Developed an open-source time tracking system for robotics teams, replacing the cumbersome Google Forms approach with a streamlined solution built using Nuxt.js, MongoDB, and Raspberry Pi hardware. This project enables efficient monitoring of team dedication through an intuitive frontend, robust backend, and integrated hardware components, ensuring easy maintenance and scalability.
Eagle Scout Service Project - Raised Planter Beds
For my Eagle Scout project, I designed and built a native plant garden with raised planter boxes at the Senac Creek Nature Center, featuring educational nameplates for each plant. This project enhances the center’s beauty, promotes environmental stewardship, and provides a lasting educational resource for visitors and school programs to learn about native Colorado plants.
