Hi, I'm Fredy Angarita,
Sorry I do not speak English well.
I live in Colombia, I am a forestry engineer, I work as a contractor, I travel a lot and my work is within the forests of my country.
I am in the ODK community, because I am interested in automating processes in my work, in addition, I want to learn how to create forms for all the topics that interest me, because I like mathematical logic.
I am in a personal project, where I want to automate the data collection in the forest, to facilitate my work, also, I like it, I am new to this, I am learning daily.
I like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, in addition, I like to enter the forests of my country, because they have great plant diversity.

My name is Naomi. My main area of specialization is GIS. From time to time (in the past 4 years) I have used ODK in designing forms mostly for humanitarian data collection (I love doing humanitarian work). I am excited to be part of such a passionate group and I hope to support others where I can and also better my skills. I have also been developing my skills in R.

Hello world!
This is Yann, French national currently based in Kigali as director of engineering for the non-profit One Acre Fund, whose mission is to improve East-African agricultural production by facilitating access to better inputs and credit.
Trying out ODK to see if this might fit some of our field staff in their interactions with our local farmers!
One of the things I've been trying to do is run ODK in a kubernetes cluster for simpler cloud-native operations... working reasonably well so far.

Hi I am a PhD student in applied economics at Cornell University. I started using ODK to implement a phone survey in Zambia for my adviser.
Outside of data collection and cleaning, I love dancing, travelling, befriending animals big and small, and listening to music.

Hi! I am from the Philippines. I got involved in the ODK Community because we are developing a community-based monitoring system for our country and we chose odk as it can be used offline.
I am just a beginner in programming and this is my very first project. The ODK community is very helpful and I have learned a lot from you guys! Hoping to learn more from you. 
When I have my free time, I love to sing and watch movies

Hi, I am Francis! I live in Accra, Ghana and research is my passion.
I learnt about ODK in the past but I haven't used it for research myself before. However, in my current project, I am looking forward to using ODK in my data Collection.

Hi everyone,
I'm Elvis. I am based in Albania.
I discovered ODK around 8 years ago when my boss ask me at that time to switch from paper and pencil to CAPI. I did a bit a research and ODK was the best solution I found (and free so win/win). Before ODK I've been using CsPro for in office Data Entry. I have been using ODK for work since then and today I am still using it as part of my freelance projects. I offer companies, organisations or projects managers who want to conduct CAPI interviews my service (form building, hosting, technical support and database delivery). I really like working with ODK and I have felt the improvements over the years. I like to couple it with google sheets and the build a data studio report so the project coordinator will have an almost live situation of the quotas. Unfortunately there is no google sheets in ODK central so I am stuck with Aggregate until I find a way to do the same reporting thing with PowerBI.
Besides ODK, I work full time as Marketing and Advertising.

Hello Everyone!
My name is Jeanette, and I am from the USA but have been based in South Africa since 2015. I am an environmental engineer working in the sanitation sector. I have been using ODK on a number of research project I manage to help collect data mainly from schools and households. Many of these projects involve assessing technical capabilities and user experiences with different sanitation technologies. I have incredibly minimal experience with any sort of programming, so there has definitely been a steep learning curve for me in setting this all up!
During the COVID pandemic, I have gotten on board with baking sourdough and brewing beer, which have become delightful hobbies! I also enjoy getting out and hiking around beautiful South Africa as much as possible.
