Full Stack Software Developer & DevOps Engineer | Creative Media Specialist

I'm Kyle Brown, a junior Full Stack Software Developer and aspiring DevOps Engineer with over a decade of coding experience. I started in 2012, building static HTML/CSS/JavaScript websites, then advanced to jQuery, Bootstrap, and PHP/MySQL for CMS development. Today, I focus on creating fast, secure, and scalable web applications. I'm gaining expertise in cloud-native technologies like Python, Node.js, React.js, and frameworks such as Django and Flask, while working with Docker and Kubernetes to build microservices that help businesses grow and connect with their audiences.


In addition to development, I have a strong passion for Creative Media. I have experience producing a range of video content, from corporate promos and personal branding videos to event highlights and marketing visuals. By blending creativity with technical expertise, I aim to help clients elevate their brand and online presence through high-quality, engaging media that speaks directly to their audience.


Languages

HTML

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the standard language for structuring content on the web. It’s used to define elements like text, images, and links, forming the foundation of all websites and web applications.

CSS

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used for designing the visual appearance of web applications. It controls layout, color schemes, typography, and responsiveness, ensuring a polished and user-friendly interface.

JavaScript

JavaScript is the cornerstone of web development, enabling interactive and dynamic user interfaces. It’s used for both frontend (with React.js) and backend (with Node.js) development, making it essential for creating full-stack web applications.

PHP

PHP is a server-side scripting language used for web development. It powers a large percentage of websites and is often paired with MySQL databases to create dynamic content.

SQL

SQL (Structured Query Language) is used to manage and manipulate databases. It allows you to retrieve, insert, update, and delete data, making it fundamental in backend development for database-driven applications.

Node.js

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime that allows developers to use JavaScript on the server side. It’s widely used for building scalable network applications and is the backbone of many modern backend systems.

React.js

React.js is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It enables developers to create large, complex web applications with reusable components, improving performance and scalability.

Bash/Shell Scripting

Bash/Shell scripting allows developers to automate tasks in Unix-like operating systems. It is commonly used in DevOps for writing scripts to perform routine tasks like backups, deployments, and monitoring.

Python

Python is a versatile, high-level programming language known for its readability and simplicity. It’s widely used in web development, data science, artificial intelligence, and automation, making it a powerful tool for full-stack development and backend solutions.

Flask

Flask is a lightweight Python web framework used for developing web applications quickly and with minimal overhead. It's particularly useful for small to medium projects or microservices.

Django

Django is a high-level Python web framework that promotes rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. It includes powerful features for database handling, security, and application scalability.


Tools

Docker

Docker is a tool for containerization that allows developers to package applications and their dependencies into a container, making them portable and consistent across multiple environments.

Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open-source platform for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, ensuring high availability and scalability.

OpenShift

OpenShift is a Kubernetes-based platform that provides enhanced development and operational workflows, making it easier to manage Kubernetes clusters at scale.

Git and GitHub

Git is a version control system that allows developers to track changes in code. GitHub is a platform for hosting Git repositories, facilitating collaboration and code sharing.

CI/CD Tools

Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) tools automate the process of testing and deploying code, ensuring faster delivery and higher quality applications.

Linux Commands

Linux commands are essential for navigating and managing servers, automating tasks, and performing operations directly within a Unix-like environment.

Microservices Architecture

Microservices architecture allows developers to break down applications into smaller, loosely coupled services, enabling scalability and ease of development and maintenance.

Serverless Computing

Serverless computing enables developers to run applications without managing servers, allowing them to focus on code while the cloud provider handles infrastructure scaling.

Cloud Platforms (IBM Cloud)

Cloud platforms like IBM Cloud provide infrastructure, tools, and services that allow developers to build, deploy, and scale applications in the cloud.

Agile Methodologies

Agile methodologies focus on iterative development, allowing teams to deliver software incrementally, adapting to change quickly and ensuring continuous improvement.

Scrum

Scrum is an Agile framework that structures work into sprints, facilitating collaboration and improving productivity in software development teams.

Monitoring & Observability

Monitoring and observability tools provide insights into the health and performance of applications, helping teams ensure stability and troubleshoot issues proactively.

AI Development

AI development focuses on building applications that can simulate human intelligence, enabling smarter and more automated solutions across industries.

TDD and BDD

TDD and BDD are development approaches that prioritize writing tests before writing code, ensuring quality and that the application behaves as expected from the user’s perspective.

MySQL

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system widely used for web applications and services. It allows developers to manage and retrieve data in structured formats.

Bootstrap

Bootstrap is a popular front-end framework that enables developers to build responsive, mobile-first websites and web applications quickly and efficiently.

Apache

Apache HTTP Server is a widely used open-source web server software that powers many websites, especially in monolithic application architectures.

Nginx

Nginx is a high-performance web server and reverse proxy used for load balancing and managing incoming traffic for web applications.
