Kevin Dwyer is a veteran engineering leader and founder with 17 years of experience, currently serving as VP of Engineering at Black Cape while running his own venture, Primitive Types. Based in Takoma Park, MD, he blends hands-on hardware tinkering—Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, and LED art—with strategic software leadership, shipping reliable systems and guiding engineering teams. A self-reliant maker who still misses the era of BBSes, he pairs practical engineering skills (he changes his own oil) with creative pursuits like brewing and playing multiple instruments. His background includes a BS in Computer Science from UMUC and a track record of turning hobbyist curiosity into product-focused outcomes.
