Engineer-Curated Learning. No Fluff.

Learning Kotlin can be a daunting task or a monster to take on. Coding Kinetics can help you conquer Kotlin.

In the fast-paced world of software development, staying on top of the latest technologies is a constant challenge. But here's the catch: learning a new language or framework can feel like:

an uphill battle
information overload
full of distractions
diminishing motivation

Coding Kinetics brings you deep dives, real examples, and practical strategies — built for working devs, not SEO bots.

Master Kotlin without the overwhelm. Cut through the noise. Learn your way— alone or in good company.

Hi, I’m Amanda.

Like many of you, I’ve faced the challenges of learning a new programming language. When I discovered Kotlin, an open-source language, it reignited my passion for coding. Kotlin made coding fun again, and it’s now my mission to help others rediscover that joy.

What I do:

Android engineer
Book author
International technical speaker
Active in the Chicago JVM community
Connected to Kotlin enthusiasts worldwide

Why this platform exists:

Through my journey, I’ve found more effective ways to learn computational topics with Kotlin. Learning should never feel intimidating—it should be fun, engaging, and result-driven. What started as a personal journey has turned into global recognition, and now I’m here to share everything I’ve learned with you.

Let’s make coding something you love.

Our unique approach gives you the tools to stay focused, energized, and on track

Whether you're diving into bite-sized snippets, structured courses, or hands-on workshops. And the best part? You can learn on your own or in a supportive community setting that keeps you motivated.
