Hello, my name is Kevin Cruz.
It's nice to meet you.
Who am I?

Kevin Cruz

Software Developer, Gamer, Traveler.

Software Developer

Armed with a penchant for programming, I've had the opportunity to work in a wide variety of industries, including game development, aerospace electronics, and most recently, technology consulting. I'm always looking to expand my knowledge, so if you've got a cool project for me, let's get in touch!

Gamer

An avid gamer of all kinds. Video games, tabletop games, and board games, if you've got it I'll try it! My current obsessions include Warhammer, Overwatch, and futile attempts at trying to clear my Steam backlog. You can catch me on Steam here. Let's play!

Traveler

I have had the good fortune of being able to travel for work and for leisure as a Liferay consultant for the past five years. I love experiencing new adventures, exploring the world, and of course trying new food! If you have any awesome travel suggestions, send them my way.
