Kizito Ohani
Frontend & React Native Engineer based in Nigeria 🇳🇬
I write code, ship apps, and I work as a hands-on contributor and try to be the kind of teammate people enjoy working with. I build with React, React Native, and Next.js, web and mobile, from Figma file to App Store submission.
I've shipped fintech apps, edtech platforms, artisan booking tools, and a few things in between. I care about clear communication, reliable delivery, and building things that work well.
When I'm not building, I'm watching something good, eating something better, or losing at board games with friends.

Future
Three Years From Now
I want to be a strong mobile engineer, iOS-first, with the frontend depth to own product delivery end to end.
That means shipping polished React Native apps with native integrations, understanding the full mobile release cycle, and being the person a small team trusts to own the entire frontend layer without hand-holding.Five Years From Now
I want to be making product and technical decisions, not just implementing them. Leading frontend and mobile delivery on products that matter, shaping what gets built and how, and mentoring the next developer who's where I am today.
