About
—A little bit about me, myself, and I
Hi there, I’m Kyle. Alright, elevator pitch, los geht’s (let’s go)!
I am a highly motivated individual who loves to learn new things, and improve upon existing knowledge. In college, I helped found, and was the first president of, a student organization called HyperLynx; the goal of this organization was to experiment with new technology (we built a 3D printer!).
As I began my career in early 2016, I also created a website called RandomAnime.org, which combined my love of web development with anime. This site acts as a playground for experimentation for me with new technologies, and today has a swell community of fellow anime lovers.
Presently, outside of work, I still pursue knowledge of various subjects. I’ve started learning webpack, JS ES6, VueJS, and Java. I’ve also been actively studying the German language for a couple years now.
Nett, Sie kennen zu lernen (A pleasure to meet you). Feel free to check out my web resume below.
Skills
Communication is vital to any team. I actively communicate with members on my team throughout the development process, from design to implementation. I’m a self motivated individual that keeps on top of tasks assigned to me, as well as looks for improvements in existing proceses.
