Summary
Kevin Okamoto is a Senior/Staff-level front-end engineer with over two decades of web development experience and a recent six-year focus on client-side architecture for enterprise applications. He designs and builds complex JavaScript-driven UIs—using Node.js, Polymer, Angular, D3.js and mapping libraries like OpenLayers—for energy and smart-metering products deployed as Docker containers and on Cloud Foundry. Kevin combines an engineering mindset grounded in an MS in Aeronautical Engineering with hands-on practices in build/test tooling (Grunt, Karma, Jasmine) and REST/WebSocket integrations to deliver robust, testable front-end systems. His background spans both legacy and modern stacks—from PERL/CGI and PHP to contemporary web components—giving him a practical edge when modernizing large-scale UIs. Based in Livermore, CA, he thrives on turning complex data (maps, time-series meter data) into usable visual tools for utilities and cities.
