Hi there! My name's Kingsley. I'm a Brit, who's been living in the US since 2016. I write code for things on the internet. More specifically, I'm an Open Source Enthusiast & I work as a DevOps Engineer for Pearson.
A full-stack developer, generalist, and environmentalist, I enjoy combining my obsessive attention to detail, with my love for making things, and the environment, with a mission-driven work ethic of changing the world, in one small positive way at a time. Checkout some of my work , or say hello!
