Kevin Hernandez-Rives - Software Developer

I am an independent software developer building engaging, full-stack web and desktop applications from the ground up.

Coding from a young age, I've always enjoyed learning a variety of software development skills and applying them towards building fun personal projects. Today, I'm channeling that drive and experience into a career building high-quality, professional software. I most enjoy working in Rust and JavaScript – I speak English, Japanese, and Spanish – and I'm learning Korean.
