Kenneth Matovu | Software Engineer

ABOUT

I'm a developer passionate about crafting accessible, pixel-perfect user interfaces that blend thoughtful design with robust engineering howeer even more passionate about Cyber Security since I have a background in Digital Forensics & Criminal Investigation. My favorite work lies at the intersection of design and development, creating experiences that not only look great but are meticulously built for performance and usability.

Currently, I'm a freelance full-stack developer, specializing in building web apps custom tailored to the business needs, vision and goals. I design the layouts mainly in Figma, start building the application from scratch following the design. In certain scenarios clients only have an idea on what they want even without the graphic elements like logos, which I then first need to create upfront. Later on I contribute to the maintenance of UI components that power these app's frontend and the business logic for the backend, ensuring these platforms meet web accessibility standards and best practices to deliver an intriguing user experience.

On this amazing journey, I've had an opportunity to develop software across a variety of settings ---- from large corporations to start-ups and small digital product studios. Additionally, I also released an article on medium, guiding anyone on how to learn how to build web apps with all I wished I knew which could've saved me some good amount of time.

In my spare time, I'm usually playing billiards, making technology research / Learning new stacks, hanging out with my friends.
