WEB DEVELOPMENT / INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

GAVIN KENNEDY

Developer building practical systems, interfaces, and web applications.

My current work focuses on PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, responsive design, database-driven applications, and maintaining websites.

I'm continuing to expand into software development and interactive technology, with game development as a future endeavor.

ABOUT

Building Practical Technology

My background is in information science and web development, but much of my growth as a developer has come from turning ideas from everyday life into working software.

I enjoy working across the development process, including responsive interfaces, PHP development, database structure, authentication, administrative tools, production deployment, troubleshooting, and continued maintenance.

As I build more experience, I want this portfolio to expand beyond web development into software and interactive applications, including game development.
