Kyle Anderson
My name is Kyle Anderson. I’m a backend-focused JavaScript platform engineer based in Beaverton, Oregon.
Software is communication. Technology is wonderful because it allows us to communicate in increasingly efficient and complex ways.
One of my life-long goals is to help bridge data divides – missing connections between software systems and data stores – promoting inter-system communication and automation. Many of the projects described here reflect this goal in some way or another.
IT, Media, & JavaScript Professional
Experience
I have a unique yet increasingly needed combination of IT and Media Production experience. Since 2014, web development with JavaScript – both server-side and front-end – has played a key role in helping me provide added business value.
