Hi, there! I'm Kulani

I grew up in a small village — where routine was safety, and change felt risky. Naturally, I chose Accounting — it was the structured path, the responsible one. And it did teach me discipline and systems thinking.

But something in me needed movement. Accounting felt like watching the same day repeat — I wanted to create, not just record.

So after just two weeks back in an accounting job, I quit. It was terrifying — I was 27, with no guarantee that tech would welcome me. But I took that leap anyway and joined WeThinkCode_.

Here, I found my people — a community that thrived on curiosity and collaboration. I learned to code, but more importantly, I learned to think differently.

What I'm Doing

Building responsive, accessible web applications that prioritize user experience and clean code.

NetWell

Your health, compounded.

After gaining over 16kg in the past year, I decided to get serious about my health and wellness. Through consistent 15k daily steps and calorie tracking, I've lost 4.6kg so far—but staying accountable was the hardest part. As someone with an accounting background, I thought: what if I could track my health like a balance sheet? NetWell gamifies wellness using double-entry bookkeeping—earn rewards for hitting goals, face penalties for setbacks. It's my real system for staying on track, built with React Native and Apple Watch integration.
