A little about me
My name is Kevin Belford and I am a front-end developer from the Pacific Northwest. My background is primarily in commercial photography and photo studio leadership, but after several years in the field, I found myself looking for a new challenge and decided to change the course of my career. Being a visual and creative person, I was naturally drawn to front-end development. My naturally calm personality compliments the skills I have found to be invaluable to front-end development including my keen attention to detail and my perseverance when it comes to problem-solving. One thing that excites me about the developer world is the never-ending advancements in technology requiring a constant need to keep learning.
A bit about my personal life: I’ve been playing drums most of my life (a while back, I was honored to play in the Sounders FC band, Soundwave, for a couple years). I’m a big soccer fan and support Sounders FC and Liverpool FC. I love pizza and have been mastering the art of home-made pizza for the past eight years.
