👋 Hi, I'm Kimi!

👩‍🌾 I'm a young Software & Mobile Engineer who believes in kindness, heroes and human super powers. ✨
💻 I usually work with React, React Native, Context, Redux, Gatsby, CSS Modules, TypeScript, Bitrise and Netlify.
📖 I’m also enthusiastic about helping connect technology and education to promote meaningful and better-informed learning opportunities.

🎨 I'm deeply interested in:

• Exercise and martial arts (I practice Kung Fu), and the challenges that come with it.
• Having fun and doing lively things (I play Stardew Valley, board games, and watch anime).
• Doing something that connects us to the present (like nurturing faith and growing vegetables).

🎨 On learning, I also notice:

• Different forms of apprehension, and how the human mind can learn.
• Learning as a continuous, lifelong process - that is, not one that ends after a diploma.
• How different people learn at different rhythms and ways. We all have strengths and weaknesses.
• Education for independence and freedom, not only just locked up to schools. Learning can happen anyhow and anywhere.
• Learning to be prepared for life’s challenges and adventures - not for passing standardized tests and getting good grades.

🎗️ My motto

We humans are so used to science fiction and big, loud movie explosions that we forget that there are many amazing, rich, fantastic powers, mostly hidden right inside ourselves 🌟:

• the power of choosing kindness,
• of showing support to a person in need on a challenging time,
• of lending a much needed hug or, quite simply,
• of being able to go through a hard day. 🌼

Day after day, I try to apply these thoughts into my actions. That's where the super powers come from. 📝
