Hello, I'm
Kevin Hayes
I’m a software developer who enjoys building useful tools that solve real-world problems. I’ve worked on cloud infrastructure, REST APIs, process automation, front-end performance improvements, and recently mobile app development, prompt engineering, and web development. I love the challenge of taking an intricate problem, breaking it into smaller pieces, and implementing a user-centric solution.
Outside of work, I’m a proud father, avid gamer, and a longtime tech enthusiast. I’ve built several gaming desktops from scratch, for both myself and others. My favorite games include Kerbal Space Program, Factorio, and Portal 1+2. My favorite outdoor activities are skiing, longboarding, and building and flying my own remote-controlled airplanes.
