Kevin started working in the security industry at a webhosting company, analyzing malware with Perl daemons, ensuring system security, and building hardened kernels, before moving to manage the TechOps team assigned to maximizing uptime. He then moved to a CDN and managed a small team tasked with hardware evaluation, performance regression testing, and kernel engineering.

He picked up a small 3d printer to make knick-knacks but soon grew his collection to 3 and is now designing complex parts, usually electronics enclosures.

He holds a Technician License for Amateur Radio and is working towards his General License while also exploring the uses and limits of Meshtastic.
