Hi,
My name is Kenny Hoft

<about></about>

I'm a full-stack software developer with over four years of experience in Suriname's tech industry. I currently work as a Lead Software Developer (SAP & React) at Big Will Group, where I build web and mobile applications, design SAP solutions, and lead a small development team across several projects.

Over the years I've worked across full-stack web apps, mobile apps with React Native, dashboards backed by Go and SAP/ERPNext, and AI-driven tooling. I hold React and Python certifications from HackerRank and completed CodeWithMosh's JavaScript Mastery series, and I'm currently studying at Poly Technic College in Paramaribo.

I have a strong interest in mathematics and data science and am always looking for opportunities to keep learning and stay ahead of emerging technologies. I bring a serious, professional approach to my work and aim to consistently deliver high-quality results.

I'm always open to new opportunities to learn and grow as a developer, and confident that my skills and enthusiasm let me make a positive impact on any project I'm part of.
