About Me

Hey there! I'm Kenjy, a Full-Stack Developer from California who loves problem-solving, coding, and using tech to build cool and meaningful stuff.

I'm always diving into new technologies, and right now, I'm really into Next.js. I love learning, experimenting with different frameworks, and keeping up with the ever-changing world of web development.

I'm a fast learner and super motivated when I have a goal in sight. Working with passionate developers keeps me inspired to push my limits, ask meaningful questions, and improve my skills. I am self-motivated but excel equally well in teams, where I can contribute to building a positive and encouraging environment and sharing knowledge along the way.

Outside of coding, you'll probably find me rock climbing, camping, or jamming to live music. I'm also a huge gamer—whether it's FPS, MMORPGs, or TCG/Board Games, I'm always down for a good match.

If you’d like to connect, feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn or GitHub. You can also contact me via email at kenhiebusiness@gmail.com.

Let's chat!
