Ken
I love to design applications, write poetry, ride my bicycle, hike to hot springs, backpack through forests, take candid photographs, and talk about the intersection of technology and psychology. I also volunteer my time and energy to various projects throughout the year.
I live in Nevada and volunteer a lot of my time to the Black Rock Desert and those who chose to visit our tiny little city on the edge of the USA's first National Conservation Area. I like to run around in my Khaki 4Runner to explore old mines and try to find new trails to ride bikes on. I also enjoy shooting a lot of pool and staring at the night skies out here.
Software Engineer
I am a Software Engineer, classically trained in object-oriented programming, who likes to write universal javascript, with extensive experience building the backend of web-connected properties.
I have a wide range of skills writing in the serverside languages TypeScript, Javascript, PHP, C#, and the clientside languages HTML, Javascript, CSS, TypeScript, including the database languages mysql, MSSQL, GraphQL, and Mongodb.
I primarily work with node applications and node built front-end projects at the moment. Previously to this I was working on WordPress projects migrating to React front-end experiences.
Kendrid Spirit
Black Rock Ranger
Throughout my career, I have dedicated a significant amount of time to volunteering for various organizations, communities, and online groups. In 2016, I joined the team of Rangers at SOAK, Portland's regional Burning Man event. As a Ranger, I provided peer support and emergency response to participants. In 2019, I attended Burning Man for the third time and became a Black Rock Ranger. Since then, I have returned to Burning Man annually to serve as a Black Rock Ranger, a role I am committed to continuing in the future.
In 2022 I started working the entire Burning Man season as a DPW Ranger. For six months out of the year, I live in and work with the Burning Man staff and community in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada.

I am a software engineer with a passion for programming that began when I was 14 years old. Throughout my education and career, I have learned a range of programming languages, including BASIC, Pascal, C, C++, PHP, and ASP.NET, and have applied my skills to projects in web development, microcontroller programming, and game development.
I have a diverse background in the tech industry, having worked at web development agencies, product companies, and as a freelancer. I am particularly interested in open source development and have made it a focus of my work. In my current role as a senior developer, I am committed to promoting the use of open source projects and ensuring that original authors are credited for their contributions.
In 2021, I made the decision to embrace a nomadic lifestyle, both in my career and personal life. I currently live in a 22-foot airstream travel trailer and am committed to maintaining a balance between stability and flexibility in my professional endeavors.
