Hey there!
I'm Ken — a husband, father, golfer, and software developer based in the GTA. Rather than make you read through a wall of text, here's the quick version:
Husband & Father
- Married to the wonderfully patient Sue — she's far too good for me and we both know it.
- Together we're raising our energetic son Carson, who is very much my doppelgänger.
- We spend as much time outdoors as possible — exploring Halton's conservation areas, watching Carson tear around the neighbourhood, or finding some other ridiculous activity to fill the weekend.
- When the weather doesn't cooperate, you'll find us in the basement playing Axe Ball.
Golfer
- A baseball kid who didn't pick up a club until his mid-twenties — some habits are hard to break.
- Nearly two decades in and I'm still hovering around a 14 handicap. Progress is progress.
- I try to get out twice a week, with a bonus round whenever the stars align.
- Always up for loonie skins with fellow bogey golfers around the GTA — don't be shy.
- Current bag: Callaway Rogue Driver & 3 Wood, Cobra King Max 4i–GW, 56°, 60°
Developer
- Computer Science graduate from Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan University).
- Spent several years in support, implementation, and product roles before making the full switch to software development — turns out working close to the customer teaches you a lot about building things people actually want to use.
-
Currently working as a Senior Software Engineer, primarily with
Java,Kotlin, andReacton Spring Boot. - A side project exploring React Native led to building and open-sourcing React Native Bluetooth Classic, which turned into something far bigger than expected.
- Always tinkering with new languages, frameworks, or whatever rabbit hole seems interesting at the time.
