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 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.

Hi all,

I currently work for UNOPS where we are building our data collection solution around ODK Collect & Central. I am relatively new to data collection but the more I learn about ODK, the more I like it.
Other than that, I am a seasoned any stack developer with preference for JavaScript and passion for Kubernetes, Google Cloud Platform and everything DEVOPS.

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.

My name is Muller, and I am from the Kenya but soon moving to US to pursue my masters education. I am a graduate from University of Nairobi(class of 2020) and currently working at Kenya Medical and Research Training Institute. I have been using ODK on a number of research surveys to help collect data mainly from health facilities. Many of these projects involve assessing patients satisfaction on different services offered to them at the various health facilities. I was introduced to ODK in October 2020 and so far it has been amazing experience and I am so glad to be here.
During the lockdown period due COVID pandemic, I have gotten on programming, which have become delightful and wonderful hobbies! I also enjoy playing and watching football. I am great fun of Manchester United.

Hi everyone!
My name is Kathleen and I'm a software engineer in Santa Cruz, California in the US. I have started getting into the ODK Central codebase in the past week or so, and hope to make some meaningful contributions, fix bugs, help with new features, etc.
I've done a lot of work (academically and professionally) in the intersection of web development, app development, crowdsourcing, game design, human-computer interaction, and computer vision. In grad school, one of my projects was a game called PhotoCity for people to go out and photograph their school campuses and use those photos to automatically build 3D reconstructions of the buildings (https://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/photocity/). I also created the Feminist Hacker Barbie meme-generator website (https://computer-engineer-barbie.herokuapp.com/). I enjoy making things that let other people make things!
I have known about ODK since my time at University of Washington and am looking forward to getting more involved!

Hi there,
My name is Tobias Suter and I am working at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH) in Basel, Switzerland. One of my fields of work is the surveillance of invasive mosquito species throughout Switzerland and I discovered ODK as a brilliant tool to reduce paper work and streamlining data collection in the field and lab. We use ODK for mapping mosquito breeding sites, to collect trapping information or to store data on mosquito identification in the lab. We are in the lucky situation of having fantastic in-house knowledge and support on ODK from which I profit a lot. I plan to create some additional ODK forms to collect and store data during standard lab experiments to reduce paper work and to create more consistency in data collection and storage.
