Summary
Kevin Compton is a Senior Software Engineer with 17 years of experience building well-tested, user-focused web applications using Ruby on Rails, Angular, and modern JS (ES6). He brings deep expertise in Agile BDD/TDD practices, routinely delivering high-coverage codebases and production APIs for payments and SaaS platforms. Kevin has led development across startups and consultancies—designing production-ready systems on AWS, Docker/Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines—and currently contributes at Kajabi. Notably comfortable switching between backend (Rails, Elixir) and front-end stacks, he pairs a practical product mindset with strong automated testing discipline to reduce risk and accelerate delivery. Based in Arnold, Missouri, he’s as comfortable mentoring remote teams as he is diving into architecture or hands-on implementation.
