About Me

Developer, Designer, Builder

I'm Ovie Okeh, a full-stack developer and product designer based in the Netherlands. I build software that solves real problems for real people.

I believe technology, when wielded with intention, is the most powerful tool for solving human challenges. This belief drives everything I create—from complex business applications to experimental side projects.

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.

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.
