Hi, I'm Kyle.


Here's the (very) short version:

Even from a young age, I loved to build things. My father was a carpenter so I basically grew up in a workshop. Now, instead of building houses, I build websites.

I skinned my teeth in dev by making marketing material for local businesses in my hometown. I found that working directly with people who truly loved their profession was infectious, and I was in a priviledged position to help them share their passion with the world.

As my experience grew, so did my thirst for greater challenges. At AprilSix, I embedded myself within each department, and collaborated to define the internal processes that helped us expand our digital product offering. After a year, we grew from producing simple ad-banners and emails to building enterprise-grade websites.

The best results come when we work together, so I take my work seriously, despite how much I enjoy it. If you'd like the long version, let's get coffee.
