Programming PHP

Kevin Tatroe has been an Apple Platforms and web stack engineer for almost 30 years, developing websites and mobile, desktop, and TV apps both small and enormous. He's attracted to technologies that allow for rapid iteration, experimentation, and highly opinionated architecture. Kevin, his wife Jenn, his son Hadden, and their two cats are recent transplants to Los Angeles, trading the quiet farmland of Colorado for the bustle of Hollywood. Their house remains filled with LEGO creations, board games, books, and numerous other distractions.
