what i'm building

under app store review

Kommon is a hyperlocal iOS app that turns apartment buildings into sharing communities — letting residents lend, give away, or sell everyday items to their neighbors without leaving the building.

◆Item feed with category filtering, cover photos, and real-time availability status
◆End-to-end borrow request flow: request submission, owner approval/decline, and due-date tracking

03 / about

the human behind the code

Software engineer at Autodesk by day, indie builder by night. kenkolabs is my corner of the internet where side projects turn into real products — and hopefully, real income streams.

I care about the craft: clean code, thoughtful UX, and shipping things that actually work. When I'm not writing code, I'm on the mats training Brazilian jiu-jitsu or judo, deep in a board game, or catching up on anime.

Pretty chill overall. Always building something, always learning — just doing it at my own pace.
