Passion Fuels Purpose! 

BIOGRAPHY

I'm Ghost, real name Kevin Julu. I'm a web developer and UI/UX designer based in Nairobi, Kenya, with a deep passion for building dope digital experiences that aren't just pretty, but actually work for real people. I've been in the game for about 7 years now, crafting websites, apps, and full-on platforms that blend clean design with solid functionality.

For me, design isn't just about the visuals, it's about solving real problems and making the user journey feel effortless. Whether I'm coding up a cool front-end or reworking the user flow of a product, I'm always pushing to keep things intuitive, modern, and human-first.

Currently, I'm working as a Full Stack Developer at Endevor Africa Group, where I build enterprise solutions for clients across Africa. In 2024, I launched "Tech With Julu" (techwithjulu.com), a dope tech blog where I share my knowledge about software development, emerging technologies, and space exploration. From my earlier startups like Vidphile to my current projects, I'm constantly experimenting with new tech, frameworks, and ideas.

If you've got a vision, I've got the skills and the mindset to help bring it to life in a clean, fast way that's built for the people. Let's build something awesome together.
