Hi, I'm Kulani

I traded spreadsheets for code at 27, quitting an accounting job after just two weeks to join WeThinkCode_. It was the scariest and best decision I've made.

Accounting taught me systems thinking and discipline. Tech gave me a way to build with it. Now I create software that solves real problems, with a focus on clean code and thoughtful design.

I recently completed WeThinkCode_ with distinction, and I'm now building things I care about, starting with NetWell, an app that tracks both health and the money saved from better habits.

NetWell

Your health, compounded.

After deciding to take my health and finances seriously, I realized I needed a way to track both. NetWell helps me see the real impact of changing my habits—not just in how I feel, but in what I save. It tracks my fitness progress while also logging the money I don't spend on things like iced coffee and takeout. Every skipped temptation compounds into both better health and smarter financial decisions. Built with React Native and Apple Watch integration to make tracking effortless.
