UI/UX DESIGN & FULLSTACK DEV
About
I'm Kingsley Kotey, a developer and designer who lives at the intersection of logic and aesthetics. I'm a partner in the process, collaborating with teams to design interfaces, architect databases, and bring shared roadmaps to life.
I can't sleep if there's a bug I don't understand in our code. That drive for technical integrity follows me from my work at the SCSU IT Help Desk to the collaborative full-stack apps I build from scratch. I'm a student of the craft first, always growing, always learning, and always focused on building with purpose.
