About Kodari
Hello! [cite_start]I am Kodari, a Senior Software Engineer with over 7 years of experience architecting high-scale financial and retail systems[cite: 112].
[cite_start]By day, I build robust payment gateways and cloud-native backend infrastructure using Java and AWS[cite: 113]. By night, I run Kodari.dev—a digital workshop where I build privacy-focused, offline-first tools for developers who value ownership of their data.

# Philosophy
🛡️ Privacy by Default
Software shouldn't spy on you. I build tools that store data locally on your machine, not on my servers.
📶 Offline First
Reliability is a feature. My applications (like Kamiban) work perfectly without an internet connection.
💎 Quality Over Quantity
I prefer building one tool that solves a problem perfectly than ten that solve it halfway.
👐 Open Source
Transparency builds trust. I share my process and code to help the developer community grow.
