I/Kenneth am a born and raised fifth generation San Franciscan. I've also lived in Santa Cruz, California and now in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

I work as a Sociotechnical Software Architect - currently designing, building, and deploying Cloud Native microservices.

I've become an avid bird watcher and enjoy hiking and many types of exercise: running, swimming, calisthenics, yoga, etc.

I'm interested in the ways people and families interact with their community and environment (sub|urban planning), the ways organizations interact with their customers and stakeholders (social networks, having a clue), and the ways individuals interact with their projects and team members - specifically, software development (Agile practices, devOps, Developer Experience).

I went to culinary school, college, and graduate school - Tante Marie's, San Francisco State, and College of Notre Dame. I've previously worked as a cook, a bike messenger (#122 Silver Bullet), a carpenter, and a high school teacher.

I've made two human beings from scratch, and from the way they look you can tell my wife is a babe.
