hello, i'm josh.
welcome to my website!
I'm Joshua Knott, a Politics and International Relations undergraduate at the University of Surrey who builds software. My work sits at the intersection of technology, politics, and AI.
Outside of my university course and building software, I lead student societies at Surrey. I am currently the President of the Artificial Intelligence & Data Science Society and Vice President of the Neurotech Society, having previously served as President of the Business Society.
