Hi.
My name is Loola BOKONDA, I am from Congo DRC and I live in Morocco since 2012.
I am a phd student at Mohammadia School of Engineers.
I just start with ODK this year (2019), it was a suggestion of my thesis director for my phd. So ODK suite tools is my thesis topic.
I have some development skills, thanks to my academic background and my last job.
You can find me on LinkedIn and ReachGate as Loola Bokonda.

Hello everyone,
I am from Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa. My passion for working with data started when I learnt how to write my first select statement more than 15 years ago. Currently, I am a DBA that wants to explore ODK suite. I have not done a real project using ODK so I am here to learn how to use this great tool as I want to add more value to my skills and contribute to making the world a better place.
I just started researching ODK when I saw a vacancy that requires ODK. The first url that I clicked just got me going deeper and deeper into ODK. Excited to be part of this community to learn and share ideas.
I really want to know all about ODK.
When I am not doing data related work, I love to spend time with my daughter and wife. They are the reason that I am here.
Looking forward to becoming a contributor to this community.
Hello David,
I am also based in Bristol and have been using ODK for a wide variety of projects since around 2015, mainly in local government in South Africa. Happy to share my experience

Hi
I am Clement Bempong from Ghana. Currently supporting DHIS2 implementation in Ghana. I started using ODK in 2017, however I am now doing a real project using ODK. I hope to learn more to add up to my knowledge base in ODK.
Hello wonderful ODK community,
My name is Maricha and I've been using ODK for multiple projects for years when I was working in the Dominican Republic. I've been a long time user of the forum when I needed help but never posted so I suppose it's time to introduce myself. 
I am currently based in Seattle but work on projects for anywhere in the world. I got into ODK while working for Innovations for Poverty Action in the Dominican Republic, it's a great and versatile data collection tool, especially for those of us who are not developers or programmers. I used ODK for research projects, evaluating the impact of a variety of social programs aimed at alleviating poverty.
Favorite things to do outside of data collection? Travel? Take my dog everywhere? Be anywhere near the ocean? Not sure why I phrased those as questions.
I look forward to learning more about ODK and hopefully returning the favor and helping newbies learn too.

Welcome to the ODK forum
Hello to all the members of ODK forum,
I am Khem from Nepal, an academician working in a medical institute. I came to know of ODK as I was planning to apply for a vacant post. As I am going through the forum, I feel that this is a very useful forum for me as my work consists of teaching medical students and conducting research, where ODK would be useful. I am very interested to attend training's on ODK, to be able to apply it for data management and would be grateful if someone could inform me of its availability in and around my country. Thank you!

Hi!
My name is Bogna and I live in Poland (close to 3city) and I'm a software tester.
I am new to ODK but I'm looking forward to getting to know it and members of this community :).
Hello!
I’m Riddy from DRC, I’m working at Bluesquare, Brussels-based company that helps organizations in digitizing data. We often use ODK for mobile collection for some projects.
Hello!
I am Sivan, based in Amsterdam.
I work for Soil & More Impacts, a small advisory firm based in the Netherlands and Germany. We deliver agronomic advice and impact assessment services.
We use ODK a lot for data collection or help clients to use it. In this way we can do carbon footprints, water footprints etc. Or predict risks with regard to erosion, water scarcity etc. We also do True Cost Accounting!
As our expertise is not completely in IT, ODK provides excellent means to autonomously deliver mobile data collection services. Working with mobile technology can also be a big motivator for young farmers around the world, bringing a sense of modernization and connectedness along the value chain.

I got involved in ODK when I was a final year intern at the Ghana Health Service, Regional Health Directorate, Sunyani Division. After a quick introductory section with a Health Information Division Officer who learnt it from an East African country after traveling there for research work.
I have been working on a Data collection form for the hospitals based on their Environmental state for almost year now.
I love farming, reads a lot of nonfiction books and I love riding my Dad's Yahama DT 175.
I currently hold a degree in Computer Engineering from UENR, Sunyani. An Android Developer for the past 4 years.
I preferred to be called the coding farmer because I am a farmer who codes.
