Kevin is an outstanding technical leader. He has an excellent grasp of the technology needed to create full stack software and games. He is also a seasoned manager with the ability to mentor and lead his team to their desired goals. As an engineering director at Zynga, Kevin was able to lead a small team through a short development cycle in the creation of the Words on Tour game. He was also instrumental in the architecture, design, and engineering leadership for the new platform technology that the Words division was planning to adopt for all new games. I enjoyed my time working with Kevin and highly recommend him.

As CTO Kevin had the most challenging and ever changing set of responsibilities within the studio and was able to handle all aspects of his job with remarkable effectiveness. As a member of the Executive team, Kevin provided well thought out and insightful opinions around very difficult problems making great contributions toward overall company strategy. As a direct manager, Kevin established and communicated a strong vision, then was able to pull in and retain AAA talent across a wide range of skill requirements to execute against that vision. Ultimately building an engineering team that worked well together and delivered at a high level on a very complex project under aggressive deadlines. Kevin then also had to be an individual contributor, making huge contributions to the product itself by jumping in and writing code. It's this ability to pull back and see the big picture as an executive and manager, then dive in to the code, that showed his incredible passion for and tremendous experience in the gaming industry. It was a real pleasure working with Kevin as an executive, his work ethic and insights as a developer were invaluable.
