About me


picture of kyle


I know every programmer or computer guru says they started messing with computers when they were a little kid, well I am no exception here! Some of my earliest memories were of helping my dad who sold used computers out of our garage. Hi! I'm Kyle Hopkins from Florida, and since that time my interest in technology has never waivered. At every point in my life I have been digging into technical projects both software and hardware. Whether it was decompiling programs to figure out how they worked, or flashing firmware to a custom car computer, I have been and probably always will be involved and borderline obsessed with tech stuff.

Between working as a professional programmer and a full-stack freelancer, I have years of web development experience, programming know-how, and systems knowledge. I offer a skillset honed from endless hours of utilizing various web based technologies. I can handle everything from styling tweaks to full-stack solutions and from back end API's to front end frameworks. It would be an honor to be part of your team, to achieve and deliver the end results that you dream of. Feel free to contact me using the form below, and thanks for checking out my portfolio!
