Kyle is a creative, user-focused developer and I consider myself lucky to work as Kyle’s peer for many years. His work was always hyper-focused on the needs/goals of our clients and he worked tirelessly to deliver solutions to real-world problems. Kyle’s code was always high-quality, easy to follow in comments and build upon. But Kyle was also skillful with listening to our clients and extracting what they truly needed. Kyle’s excellent communication skills also made him something unusual – able to effectively meet with clients, understand & translate their needs & then create the tools.
