I make servers do things. Mostly on purpose.
200OK/ About
Hi, I'm Kenny.
I build software that stays up while I sleep. I sleep very well.
I've been building software since 2018: energy-efficiency apps for an IoT company in Lima, retail integrations at ABOUT YOU, and custom software for clients through QBK LABS, my small consultancy in Peru. I studied Software Engineering at San Marcos, moved from Peru to Hamburg, and I like software that behaves the same on Monday as it did on Friday.
