About
Self-taught Guyanese software engineer, music producer (known professionally as KenDaBeatmaker), and entrepreneur from Georgetown, Guyana building tech and creative solutions for the Caribbean.
I build software across web, backend, desktop apps, and product systems, with a focus on practical tools that solve real problems. My work spans Astro, React, TypeScript, Go, Rust, self-hosted infrastructure, and AI hosting and training.
I also produce music professionally under my persona KenDaBeatmaker—this creative identity is deeply tied to my software engineering work. The problem-solving rigor of coding informs my music production workflows (like building custom tools for radio content management), while my music background shapes how I design user-centric products. This dual perspective lets me build tech solutions that address real needs for Guyana's creative and tech communities, bridging two worlds that often operate in silos.
