Hi, I’m Josias Kasongo.

I live in Montreal now, but I grew up in DR Congo. That shift quietly shaped how I look at systems, people, and institutions.

I started coding around 12 years old, mostly out of curiosity. Nothing structured, just the feeling that computers were spaces you could reshape if you stayed with them long enough.

My path into software was not linear. I began in Mining Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal, then gradually moved toward programming through freelance projects, École 42, and product engineering. Code stopped being a hobby and became the main way I understand complexity.

Today I work as a Senior Software Engineer at ChargeHub, with a focus on backend platforms, API reliability, and payment-adjacent execution.

I care about both technical depth and delivery discipline: architecture quality, collaboration under pressure, and steady decision-making.

This site is where I publish software engineering lessons, execution tradeoffs, operator notes, and occasional analysis on Congolese politics and institutional dynamics.
