Hi, I'm

Kennedy Odwar.

I craft software,

I’m a software engineer specializing in designing and building exceptional digital experiences across web and mobile platforms.

01. About Me

I'm a software developer with an education background in Computer Science. I specialize in building responsive web and mobile applications that actually work for people.

My favorite part of the job is cracking tough problems and learning new tech along the way. I'm comfortable working full-stack. I like collaborating with others and getting my hands dirty on projects that push boundaries. At the end of the day, I'm all about creating fast, functional applications that do what they're supposed to do.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:

  • Elixir Phoenix
  • javascript (ES6+)
  • Typescript
  • Java
  • React
  • React Native
  • Vue.js
  • Next.js
  • Node.js
  • Express.js
  • NestJs
  • Spring Boot
