Bio

Kevin is a grounded, thoughtful and thorough developer, who can be relied on to work independently or as part of a team. I would have no hesitation in working with Kevin again, and was always impressed by his communication skills and also the ideas that he brought to a project.
Jim J.
Kevin worked for me at Software Exploration, and we both worked together at DEC prior to that. During those times, I've worked with Kevin on a very wide range of software -- from mission critical OS kernel items to Windows utilities. Kevin has the key attribute I look for in a software developer: he consistently delivers, and does so with quality. He cares deeply that he build the right solution, and has the skill and tenacity to see it through. Furthermore, Kevin believes in teamwork. I have always found him easy to work with, and someone who considers how his team can succeed. He'd be an asset for any team, and someone I'd be happy to work with again.
