Kevin Becker Portfolio

As a senior interactive developer and manager, it is my personal mission to build clean, logical, reusable solutions utilizing a myriad of technologies such as PHP, MySQL, jQuery, HTML, CSS, and ActionScript. I have built front ends, back ends, and everything in between, with a little design thrown in as well.

I have also had the pleasure of managing some great developers in both small and large digital agencies. I make it a point to be a mentor to my colleagues, and I often naturally fall into the role of go-to-guy-for-answers.
