About Me
Builder & Engineer
I'm Ovie Okeh, a builder and engineer based in the Netherlands. I ship software end-to-end—spec, architecture, implementation, release—across TypeScript, Swift, and Rust.
I believe technology, when wielded with intention, is the most powerful tool for solving human challenges. That belief runs through everything I build, from production systems at work to the workshop of personal projects I keep running on the side.
Current Focus
Right now, I'm building Kindling—a platform for guided, community-driven routines designed to explore how shared practices can foster personal growth. It's the primary application of my philosophy: technology should bring people together and help them grow.
Beyond Kindling, I spend my time tinkering with new technologies, writing about what I learn, and exploring the intersection of code and creativity.
Professional Experience
Full-Stack Developer · 2022 – June 2025
Built a comprehensive business management application helping businesses streamline operations—from invoicing to project management. Worked on a complex, high-impact product with a strong engineering team.
Writing & Publications
I write technical articles for LogRocket and OpenReplay, covering topics like React, Node.js, and modern web development practices. Writing helps me solidify my understanding and share knowledge with the broader developer community.

Beyond Code
When I'm not coding, you'll find me reading science fiction and philosophy, watching thoughtful films, or playing classical piano. I'm particularly drawn to Beethoven and Ludovico Einaudi.
I also enjoy tinkering with electronics and building small automation tools. My GitHub is a public workshop for these experiments—everything from trading bots to AI-powered tools.

I'm always open to connecting with other builders, tinkerers, and potential collaborators. Whether you want to discuss a project, share ideas, or just say hello—my inbox is open.
