My name is Kevin Blackwell. I am a STEM enthusiast with interest in all avenues of science and technology. Growing up around a STEM centric family, specifically computer centric, I was always exposed to some kind of technology. At the age of 10, I learned Javascript and Java so that help for my dad run QA tests. At 13, I honed in on my skills of HTML and CSS to build a deployable website for my aunt's bakery. At 17, I mastered Python, Ruby, and R to build a software that'll allow me to check the efficacy of a certain chemotherapy against a certain strain of breast cancer. Over the years, I've built my skills step by step, and I plan on continuing to strengthen my coding skills for it is definitely one of my passions in life.

In my spare time, I'm typically playing some kind of instrument, singing, playing some video games, or doing some self learning! You could also catch me at a roller rink, skating with my skate squad. Also, I am in love with exercising and anything involved with athletics!
