He brings practical full-stack product delivery experience honed at Ridgeline and earlier at Amazon, with a strong foundation from a Computer Software Engineering degree at Cal Poly SLO. Kevin pairs technical problem-solving with mentorship experience—he has tutored peers in object-oriented programming and guided teams through shipping product features.
