Get to know me :)

01 / A little about me

I’m Okiki. Curious by nature. Creative by code.

A software engineer with a product mindset and a soft spot for thoughtful interfaces. You can call me Kiks.

02 / The way I see it

Good interfaces start with
understanding people.

I enjoy turning ideas into websites and applications that feel good to use. The details matter to me: how a layout adapts, how an interaction responds, and how someone finds their way through a product.

My experience spans frontend development, technical product work, and developer relations. That means I’m interested in both sides of the screen: building the interface, understanding the product behind it, and helping the developers working with it.

03 / What I bring

From the big picture
to the little details.

01

Interfaces with intent.

Responsive layouts, considered interactions, and motion that gives an interface character.

02

A product perspective.

Looking beyond individual screens to understand the problem and how the pieces fit together.

03

A developer’s ally.

Making technical ideas clearer, troubleshooting problems, and helping developers move forward.

06 / Away from the keyboard

There’s life
outside the browser.

Usually a Chelsea match, a gaming session, or one more episode of a series. I’m always up for a little football banter, too.

Yes, still Chelsea. Through it all.
