COMPANY : Kevin Hammer

Partner, Technology

The best written code is somewhat like myself: logical, efficient, and easy on the eyes.

Mindset

Philosophy: Humanity has long yearned for the one who could deliver their web applications from the plague of technical constraints and vulgar, unimaginative complacency. Not to mention any names, but his initials are Kevin Hammer. Motivation: Sons, 2. Daughters, 2. Recently said: "Seems like a thankless job. Any volunteers?" And: "My wife says that computers hate women and lie to men."

Back Story

Kevin has been developing database driven web applications for almost 15 years using technologies like Java, .NET, PHP, JavaScript and SQL. But his deep expertise in Flash and Flex technologies truly sets him apart. Companies like Disney, Adobe, Toyota, Bank of America, Herbalife, Red Bull and Mazda have sought him out as a technical and rich media architect. Kevin recently served as CTO for mEgo, leading the launch of its flash-based social networking application.

Obsessions

Proverbs: "All roads worth taking eventually lead to diaper changes and sippy cups." And: "The mythical forty hour work week does exist. It is commonly known as a vacation." The perfect date night with your wife: Vodka, dueling Facebook accounts, and a fake marital spat nasty enough that all your friends simply have to comment. Websites: Ugly Overload, FAIL Blog, Cake Wrecks, Oddly Specific, There, I Fixed It.
