Taking on engagements · Open to staff and principal roles

Kevin Ferron

Software engineer

Embedded firmware to web and mobile products

I build software wherever the problem is: embedded firmware, backend services, games, and web and mobile products. I tend to leave behind the test infrastructure and frameworks that other engineers rely on. Most recently I wrote C++ and Rust for DC fast chargers at EcoG. Before that I directed engineering at Zynga.

Also: curious & caffeinated seeker, connector, dopamine chaser, serotonin farmer and universal consciousness tapper, dream spigot, grandiose, childish, emotionally sensitive absurdist that loves music, literature, artists, science and philosophy.

Engagements · KFTCDA

Hire the outcome

Fixed-price engineering for software that has to work. We agree on a result we can both check, such as regression in minutes, devices that recover themselves or a team that works AI-native, and I'm paid as each milestone is met. Never by the hour.

  • Starts with a $10,000 Outcome Assessment, credited to the engagement
  • 30% on signing, then billed milestone by milestone
  • Test infrastructure, field reliability, EV charging, AI-native teams, rescues
