Bio
Joni Grounds
Kyle worked with me at Interweave Technologies where he was instrumental in growing our web business. We originally worked with Kyle as a consultant to Interweave, but were so impressed by both his professionalism and his performance that he was hired by Interweave to build our web strategy and help grow our on-line presence. In addition to our site, Kyle developed and managed many customer sites, including the Museum of Art and Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus. For these two sites, he greatly impacted the revenue at both organizations by designing and building sophisticated e-commerce and inventory/database management modules. Although Kyle has moved to another company where he continues to grow his skill and expertise, I would recommend Kyle for any design and development work!

Kyle was actively involved in activities both on and off campus and also held leadership positions in some of these. Kyle worked diligently and responsibly behind the scenes as well as in formal leadership roles to complete projects or to assist or lead teams. In addition, Kyle’s character and integrity make him a positive role model and friend to many. Kyle interacts well with all types of people and is positive and professional. He has handled - and bounced back from - several challenging experiences and he always seems to bring great ideas, a sense of humor, and balance to groups and projects on which he works.
