Summary
Kim Rhodes is a compassionate and adaptable software engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience bridging technical support, teaching, and systems work across both rural ISPs and large tech campuses. Comfortable leading small teams and training others, Kim has turned hundreds of support tickets into customer success, built documentation and processes from the ground up, and taught advanced Python, embedded systems, and web development to working adults. Their background blends system administration (AV and campus systems), field installations using drones, and web development for non-technical clients—skills that make them equally at home troubleshooting hardware, shipping code, or explaining complex concepts clearly. A former adjunct professor and peer advisor with a CS degree from UC Santa Cruz and music minors, Kim brings empathy and calm communication to technical problems, often smoothing stakeholder interactions that others find tense.
