Hi, I'm Kester.
I'm a software engineer who likes taking rough ideas seriously enough to ship them.
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, then building the version that makes sense in someone's hands.
Outside of software, I'm usually making something with my hands or losing a weekend to another side project.
