CO-FOUNDER, HEAD OF SOFTWARE

Kevin received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Florida State University in 2010.

His interest in the whole product led to his self-taught education in software development and eventual role as an iOS developer for a large bank. It didn't take long for his electrical engineering background to influence product development at the bank, and within 6 months he became the hardware and software developer of a new prototype credit card and its companion iOS app. Over the next several years Kevin continued to hone his software expertise and passion for finding new applications for computing at the edge, culminating in his co-founding of Agrology and development of the machine learning-based technology at its core.
