Homes.com (CoStar Group)
As an Engineering Manager, I led high-performing teams to develop and scale Homes.com into a top real estate platform. My work focused on user experience improvements and enterprise-level engineering initiatives. I contributed to major projects, including a Super Bowl launch, a company-wide hackathon, and optimizing a multi-million dollar Google Ads campaign. Through scalable systems serving millions of users and cross-team collaboration, I supported engineering and overall business success.
WaveEscort.com
A patented autonomous tow-in surfing device (Patent: US12208866) designed to push the limits of electric-assisted water sports. Built using Arduino, Fusion 360 for 3D modeling, and custom electronics, it enables surfers to ride waves without a jet ski or tow partner. The device features autonomous navigation, utilizing GPS, magnetometer, and accelerometer data with long-range wireless communication. It was engineered to overcome complex hydrodynamic challenges, ensuring performance in various wave conditions. The innovation remains protected under patent, with ongoing licensing opportunities.
Hackathons
Hackathons can be a driving force behind rapid innovation and problem-solving at scale. By fostering a fast-paced, collaborative environment, these events empower teams to experiment, build, and deploy groundbreaking ideas in record time. I have led and participated in multiple high-impact hackathons, engaging over 150 engineers to develop solutions that improve workflows, automate processes, and push the boundaries of technology. Whether optimizing real estate tech or consumer experiences, hackathons are an essential part of my approach to disrupting and bringing ideas to life quickly.
NeonNightlife.com
As the Founder and Manager of Engineering, I built Neon Nightlife into a seven-figure eCommerce brand, pioneering wearable electronics in the event industry. I developed a custom backend automation system that streamlined operations, reducing costs and increasing efficiency, leading eventually to $2.6M in annual revenue. Managing a distributed team of 14 engineers, I led my team to build internal software to optimize supply chain logistics and operations. I also negotiated six-figure partnerships, and expanded the brand’s presence in major retail markets. Focused on scalability and automation, I positioned Neon Nightlife as a top player in the industry before successfully transitioning out of the business.
Underwater Photography: DarkRoomTreasures.com
DarkRoomTreasures.com is more than just underwater photography. It is an intricate dance between technology, physics, and nature. Capturing stunning images beneath the surface requires managing a large, complex camera rig while constantly adjusting for buoyancy and changing light conditions. At the same time, I have to anticipate and respond to the behaviors of marine life, ensuring I respect their space while composing the perfect shot. The challenge of balancing all these elements at once makes every dive an exciting and rewarding experience, pushing my skills in both photography and environmental awareness. Each image tells a story of exploration, adventure, and the delicate balance of life beneath the surface. Whether diving into the depths for rare encounters or showcasing the wonders of the sea, this project is a way to share the magic of the underwater world with others.
Adventure Storytelling: Youtube Channel
Kevin’s Adventures is about capturing and preserving unforgettable moments with family and friends while embracing the thrill of adventure. I don’t go on vacations. I go on adventure and cultural trips to push my limits, explore new perspectives, and cultivate the mind. Every journey is an opportunity to document the raw beauty of the world using cutting-edge photography and filmmaking tools, from FPV drones and 360 cameras to cinematic storytelling techniques. Whether it’s soaring over breathtaking landscapes, diving into the ocean’s depths, or capturing the energy of a new culture, my goal is to create immersive visuals that bring these experiences to life. The future is video, so let’s embrace it.
Kiteboarding & Surf Foiling
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. More recently, surf foiling has been my focus, combining my ocean experience with balance, and endurance.
Health & Performance
The modern food system is designed for profit, not health, pushing ultra-processed foods that make people weak, sick, and dependent. I focus on single-ingredient, whole foods that fuel the body the way nature intended. Combined with regular exercise, this approach builds strength, longevity, and peak performance. Being fit and healthy is not just about looking good. It is about living with energy, resilience, and the ability to take on any challenge, whether in the gym, the ocean, or life itself.
