Top SchoolKev Merritt is an IT Specialist and full-stack web developer based in New York with a decade of hands-on experience across IT support, web development, and independent contracting. He blends practical systems troubleshooting at Promethean IT with a long history of freelance web and carpentry projects, including a solo full-home renovation that demonstrates rare end-to-end project ownership. Trained through General Assembly’s immersive program and grounded by a liberal arts and IT education, he is comfortable across JavaScript, Node.js, SQL/NoSQL, and front-to-back web stacks. Known for a curious, experimental streak—his motto suggests he proactively iterates on systems to uncover improvements—he balances that with pragmatic maintenance in production environments.

Reliable, hands-on, and adaptable, he thrives on solving real-world problems where code, hardware, and craftsmanship intersect.
