Biography

Hi, I am Kitana Toft, a software engineer and web developer with a passion for creating aesthetic, functional and interactive projects.

I believe the practice of test and data driven development, as it ensures a reliable and evidence-based approach to building software. Moreover, I perceive design as a means to solve problems with purpose and deliver a pleasant and intuitive user experience, rather than just creating visually appealing products.

Whether it's crafting a website, developing a mobile app, or creating any other digital product, I always strive to bring my dedication to design excellence and user-focused approach to each project. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my skills and passion to your next project.
