CMP/KMP vs Electron for desktop app?

I'm building an android app using kotlin and I'm planning to build one for desktop as well. Which is the better way to build? Cmp/kmp would be easier because i dont have to rewrite all the logic again whereas building in electron will attract more open source devs to contribute but i have to build from scratch which will take a lot of time.

What would you suggest in your opinion?

PS: I'm also a CS student so which will have a better impact on resume? For SWE roles.

Thanks!
