Hi, I’m Kevin.
Many people know me for software projects that I started such as TurboGears, Paver and CommonJS. If you’re one of those people, you will probably be interested in my software development blog, Blue Sky On Mars. Today, I work on the Brackets project for Adobe.
This site is devoted to my non-software-related writing, which lately has been focused on my children’s fantasy series “11 Quests”.
