Hello! 👋
I'm Josh Caron
A Second Year CS + Math Student at UF
Fun fact: I created a 31-video Calculus II lecture series on YouTube at 16 years old
Fun fact: I have a ServSafe Food Manager Certification
Fun fact: I'm pursuing a PhD in Computer Science starting Fall 2027
Fun fact: I received UF's Outstanding CISE Undergraduate Award in Spring 2026
About Me
I have a passion for making education more impactful and efficient for students, especially those who I teach physics to through Study Edge in Gainesville, FL. I will be graduating UF three semesters early in Fall 2026.
My tentative future plans are to join Study Edge as a full time lecturer and curriculum planner in January 2027, and to pursue a PhD in Computer Science in Fall 2027.
Experience
Lecturer & Study Expert
Study Edge
- I provide resources for over 1000 students per semester in physics I and II, with and without calculus.
- Created and produced over 600 e-learning videos, designed to support students at the University of Florida.
- Achieved significant reach and engagement, with thousands of total watch hours across the video library.
iOS Development Junior Product Manager
SHPE at the University of Florida
- Organized and conducted a 4-5 week training program to introduce 8 new developers to XCode, Swift, Apollo, GraphQL, GitHub, and Asana.
- Assessed each new developer’s progress by evaluating their final project to ensure it meets quality and functionality standards.
- Monitored the integration of new developers into the team, ensuring a smooth transition into regular project work after training completion.
iOS Developer
SHPE at the University of Florida
- Contributed 1000+ lines of Swift documentation.
- Implemented a custom GitHub Actions CI/CD workflow to automate Documentation branch maintenance and improve developer productivity.
