Passion Fuels Purpose!
BIOGRAPHY
My name is Kevin Julu, but most people know me as Ghost. I'm a web developer and UI/UX designer based in Nairobi, Kenya, with a genuine love for building digital experiences that don't just look good, but actually make sense to the people using them.
I've spent the last 7+ years designing and developing websites, apps, and full-blown platforms, always sitting at the intersection of clean design and solid functionality. To me, good design isn't about fancy visuals or trends. It's about clarity, flow, and solving real problems in a way that feels effortless for the user.
Whether I'm deep in front-end code, refining a user journey, or rethinking how a product should work from the ground up, my focus stays the same: keep it intuitive, modern, and human-first. Tech should feel helpful, not complicated.
Outside client work, I run Tech With Julu (techwithjulu.com), a tech blog where I share what I'm learning about software development, emerging technologies, and my curiosity-driven love for space. From earlier projects like Vidphile to what I'm building now, I'm always experimenting, learning, and pushing myself to get better at the craft.
If you've got an idea you care about, I bring the skills, curiosity, and mindset to help turn it into something clean, fast, and built for real people. Let's make something worth using.
