JK@johnkyony
Self-taught developer passionate about web and software development.
South AfricaI am a self-taught developer with a rich experience in the tech industry since 2013. My journey began in South Africa, but I ventured back to my home country, the Democratic Republic of Congo, to work with Infoset. This experience allowed me to understand the unique challenges faced by my community and fueled my desire to innovate within the tech space. I recognized that being a good developer was not enough; I needed to expand my knowledge of operating systems and development practices.
Currently, I run my own business, Korujams, where I focus on software development and project management. My passion for technology drives me to continuously learn and grow, and I have successfully led various projects, including the development of an AlgoTrading bot and a sports event application. My ultimate goal is to create an African startup that transforms how people in my country engage with technology, making it more accessible and impactful.
