Well, hello therehandwave gif

My friends call me Kim. So can you!

Software Engineer 👨🏽‍💻 || Brand & Product Photographer 📸 || FinTech Pro 💰 — in no particular order (chaos is my default mode 😅)

I am a full-stack developer experienced in JavaScript/TypeScript and Python with an insatiable curiosity for learning. I'm passionate about leveraging modern development practices to solve challenging problems and build meaningful solutions.

I'm currently building Vernice Arts, a SaaS platform dreamed, designed, and developed out of need and personal experience as a freelance photographer for other visual creatives and makers across Africa and beyond.

My core strengths include front end web development, strategic project planning, people management and excellent communication skills. I have proven track record of collaborating with cross-functional teams throughout the software development lifecycle from ideation to deployment delivering robust and user-centric digital products.
