Software Engineer · South Africa · keagan.stokoe@gmail.com

After graduating with degrees in business and law, I turned my sights to the world of software engineering. I aim to channel my analytical mind into building & delivering products that make complex processes intelligible and creating experiences that are clear & empathetic. On the weekend you’ll find me on the golf course, running my favourite routes, or writing at my favourite coffee shops.

Interests

Apart from being an engineer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. I am an avid golfer and runner, and spend time hiking whenever I get the chance.

When indoors, you'll likely find me with a book and cup of coffee at hand. I spend a large amount of my free time writing and exploring the latest technology advancements in the engineering world.
