Pushing Boundaries in TECH, INNOVATION & LIFE

I build high performing teams, and push the limits.

I’m an engineering leader, entrepreneur, and AI innovator with a strong background in software development and business strategy. I build and scale high performing teams, drive tech solutions, and bridge the gap between technology and business growth.

About Me

Leadership Style

I lead with positivity and resilience, ensuring teams thrive through challenges. I foster environments where obstacles become opportunities, with leadership grounded in kindness, mentorship, and personal development, helping engineers grow beyond just their careers.

Entrepreneurship & Innovation

I build and scale products and teams at the intersection of entrepreneurship and innovation, from founding healthcare and e‑commerce ventures to leading enterprise hackathons. My focus is AI‑driven automation, product strategy, and shipping outcomes that matter.

Personal Philosophy

I believe that great leadership is about resilience, positivity, and empowering others.

My Work

Get Vitals logo

Founder of a mental health platform for nurses. We're tackling burnout and compassion fatigue with evidence-based tools designed for what actually goes on in frontline healthcare.

Homes.com logo

Led teams to scale Homes.com, launching major initiatives from Super Bowl campaigns to enterprise engineering programs and multi‑million dollar growth work.

WaveEscort.com logo

Patented autonomous tow‑in surfing device (US12208866) using GPS, magnetometer, and IMU with long‑range comms engineered for wave conditions. Built with custom electronics and Fusion 360 modeling, it autonomously navigates so surfers can ride without a jet ski or tow partner.

Hackathon

Led and participated in high‑impact hackathons with 150+ engineers to accelerate innovation, automate workflows, and ship meaningful improvements fast.

Neon Nightlife logo

Founder and Manager of Engineering for Neon Nightlife, where I scaled a wearable‑electronics eCommerce brand to $2.6M ARR by building automation systems, optimizing operations, and leading a distributed engineering team. Drove partnerships and retail expansion before successfully transitioning out.

Life & Adventure

Kevin's Adventures

I enjoy capturing unforgettable memories with family and friends through immersive storytelling. I travel to experience culture and adventure to gain perspective, and document the world in cinematic style. From soaring landscapes to ocean depths, the goal is vivid, memorable moments.

DarkRoomTreasures logo

I enjoy the blend of technology, physics, and nature beneath the surface. Each dive means managing a complex camera rig while adapting to buoyancy, shifting light, and patient, delicate handling of marine animal behavior. That balance makes every shot a rewarding challenge, and each image tells a story of exploration and the ocean’s delicate harmony.

Ocean Sports

I was drawn to these sports because of their technical nature, and they have become a lifelong pursuit. Riding a foil or catching the wind creates a feeling of freedom and power that never gets old. Beyond the thrill, it is a way to stay active and healthy for life. “Exhaust the body to tame the mind.” I find that when I get time in the ocean, I can be much more focused and effective in my work.
