Hi, I'm Kester.
I'm a software engineer who enjoys turning rough ideas into products people actually want to use.
Most of my work lives in the space where design and engineering stop feeling like separate jobs. I like figuring out how something should work, building it, and refining it until the interface disappears and people are left with the experience instead.
Outside of software, I'm usually making something with my hands, photographing something I noticed, or disappearing into another side project.
