About me


My name is Annunziata Kinya Kobia.


I am a self-driven learner and an enthusiastic software developer looking to always build usable global standard applications. I am proficient in developing Android applications using Kotlin and Java.

I strongly believe in the power of communities and mentorship. I participate in local developer community meetups like Android254. I am also part of the organizers (Android Development team) for the DroidConKE tech conference.

In my free time, I enjoy going out for movies or events with friends and hiking.
