About Joshua D. Berkowitz
Welcome! I’m Joshua, an educator and consultant from Princeton, NJ, with a deep love for problem-solving and discovery.
My path took root at Princeton University, where I studied Organic Chemistry, and later expanded into the world of digital media, data science, and software development.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve collaborated with everyone from small startups to multinational tech giants—all in pursuit of effective, practical solutions. Now, I’m here to share that experience with you, helping learners bridge academic theory with cutting-edge technology every step of the way.
✽ BACKGROUND
Education
At Princeton University I delved into Synthetic Organic Chemistry and honed my ability to tackle complex problems through rigorous research. In time, I expanded into the realm of computer science, fascinated by how scientific principles could intersect with software development and data-driven solutions. By combining these fields, I’ve shaped an interdisciplinary mindset that fuels both my creativity and my pragmatic approach—traits I love passing on to students and colleagues as we explore science and technology together.

I believe education should be both rigorous and inspiring—grounded in a strong academic framework yet flexible enough to adapt to each student’s goals. Drawing on my educational and professional experiences, I aim to demystify complex ideas by linking them to real life situations. My sessions are interactive and collaborative, guiding learners step-by-step while also challenging them to think independently.
